Here's the synopsis: The victim of a hit-and-run accident, Lizzy Mitchell is left by the driver in the middle of the median, hurt and adrift. Later Lizzy comes to see the accident as indicative of her life up to that point. After her parents are killed in an accident when she's two, Lizzy was raised by her uncle Mike, a Maine priest, At age nine, however, her comfortable world crumbles when her uncle is accused of molestation. Lizzy, now a high-school counselor, is still trying to make sense of what happened to her uncle.
I liked this novel. I liked it even more after page 200 when POW!!! I was shocked by a turn of events that sent the characters and me into a tizzy! I would recommend this book though it was a bit slow in parts. There were times when the characters were total boneheads that I wanted to pound on them just a little bit but all in all, I would recommend this.
On to my next...a Laura Lippman which I'm liking so far!
Muir- if you are looking to read an upbeat book with likeable characters and an easy read try Fannie Flagg's "A Redbird Christmas"
