This is about righting wrongs, being able to forgive and moving on. Sunny’s journey to find the truth keeps you turning the pages. Andrea Smith did a great job of displaying Avery’s grooming of the women in his congregation and claiming it is counselling. He was very self satisfying. I loved this book and in my opinion it is worth reading.
