review 1: This book is incredible. It made me think about just what I would do for my child. People say they would "do anything" for their kids. But really? What is majic line you would not crossed? The heartache that Alisa goes through in this book is just heartbreaking. There is a bit of religion in this book, but it is not overwhelming or "pushy" in any way. I think this book would be a great discussion book between a Mother and child (teenager at least). The decisions Alisa makes in this book was many times "dinner time" conversation for my family. I highly recommend this book.
review 2: It all starts when Alisa Stewart looked up and saw a police officer pull up to her house. She just knows that her remaining son Kurt, is dead, just like his brother. But w... morehen the officer starts questioning her about her son Kurt she realizes his life of drug addiction has not claimed his life~yet. Kurt is wanted for for questioning in a murder of a local drug dealer. A few weeks later her son calls her from a rehab center where he has decided to change his life for good.However for Alisa that is the only bright thing in her life. Alisa and her husband are separated and then she makes a decision that may change not only her life forever but also Kurt, her husband, and their 10 year old daughter.This book is different from any other book I have ever read. I am still trying to decide if I like it or not. I do not agree with what Alisa did and was appalled she did what she did. As a mother I would have taken a different road and made different choices. The writing is good and I wanted to keep reading it until I found out what happened to Alisa and her family. less
