This a quick and devastating read about two strangers and the mistakes they make 11 years apart. The writing style of this one wasn't for me, although I appreciated Farris Smith's pacing and his character-building. It is always interesting to read villains who might be good and heroes who are often bad. Although it was depressing, the tone was handled well so that it didn't move into trauma-porn territory. I do think the plot could have been fleshed out a bit more, although it is nice, at times, to just drive old country roads and listen to nothing.
