Although I have not read this author myself, I've heard many good things about her work. In this excerpt, I can see the story going in many different avenues--there will probably be a few twists along the way, which is always good to keep readers interested. I'm not sure that it won't get too preachy, but I would take the chance and read it anyway.
The cover is simple, but eye-catching. Something I would consider browsing through at a bookstore.
