This book wasn't quite what I had expected. That doesn't diminish the enjoyment at all however. I love a good character study, and that is exactly what this was.
You follow Cohen through the accident that leaves his father on death's door. As Cohen moves through his emotions of his father's pending death, the confusion and heart break of his parents destroyed marriage and the little part he played in it, and the devastation of having essentially been abandoned by both parents, you see the growth of Cohen and the acceptance of his past. It was beautiful.
There is a very heavy influence of religion in this story, and despite not having a religious background, this book was still enjoyable for me.
This was a really good book. I definitely recommend if you are into Christian fiction, or if you like really good character studies.
