WOW! This was a profoundly powerful piece on showing the "ugly" and beauty of life in America by shining light on very real experiences while ensuring dignity is given to human beings in spite of their struggles and attempts to keep moving forward--all while creatively and masterfully navigating a thriller/mystery plot with appreciation for the artistic eye. This is a book I will never forget.
