“This book—about a 35-year-old woman who falls for the 15-year-old son of her best friend—changed the way I read newsreports about ‘pedophiles’ who have scandalous affairs with the underage. This is a headlong heartbreaker, tender but never schlocky. It deepened my sympathy for many people under the spotlight whose real stories are so much richer and more morally nuanced than the headlines suggest." Thanks to RealSimple magazine.
A person who reads is never bored, but rather entertains the ideas of the world. Reading is recreational, educational, ethical, inspirational, imaginative and artistic. It aids in the development of the mind and the spirit. The written word is one of our greatest inventions.
