This book is not for those who love keeping their heads in the sand. Graphic descriptions of hue the ugly meth making and dealing business affects families and individuals are not everyone’s cup of tea. With that being said, I found myself cheering and hoping for the happy ending for a most unlikely couple. Not everything but most of the ugliness is nicely dealt with by the end and the novel has an overall hopeful note and hints at the possibility of the triumph of love against all odds.
