Ginger said Highly recommend, this wonderful work.. An amazing, heart-filled, Christ-filled book. A very poignant novel that you'll be thinking about long after you turn the final page.The Reason, is a study of human nature and how different people and times respond different ways but yet we are all so much alike.
