I tend to stay away from books that have this subject matter, to emotional for me to read personally. I am glad that you found some good qualities in this and enjoy that. <br /><br /><br /><a href="www.booksliveforever.com" rel="nofollow">Jenea @ Books Live Forever</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17441774134845678055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-61942178830084680932013-06-10T12:56:27.371-07:002013-06-10T12:56:27.371-07:00Oh I don't think this one is for me.

Still, it sounds like an important issue that might resonate with others. Hopefully your next is better.
