There are few authors in this world with the capability of forcing you bodily into a story and dragging you from the front cover all the way through to the last page. Michael is one of those authors. I spent 5 hours reading this entire story without even realizing that an hour had passed; he had me that captivated. As a mother, I empathized with Maggi, even as I cringed over the choices that she would make at times. Michael did an amazing job at having me believe that his characters were real. I did not once doubt Maggi's feelings for those around her, even while wanting to make her see how her actions demonstrated the exact opposite.I look forward to reading more of Michael's stories in the future.
