This used to be one of my all time favorite books. I've read it more than three or four times, although none of those times lately. I hoped that the appeal would still hold but whatever drew me to the book initially no longer remained. Everything seemed simplistic, including the characters. Orcutt failed to create dynamic, round characters that the reader invests in and care to discover the ultimate outcome.

This book did not survive round two of the purge from my personal collection.
