Didn’t you HATE Meredith’s mother in this? What a spineless, terrible, awful, no-good mother!

Oh, I’ve been wanting to read this one too! But I have roughly 5 billion books on my “To read” list.

I put this one off for a long time, mostly because a friend had to read it for her book committee. But I found it really powerful and uncompromising. It was hard to read, but so well-written! I’m excited to see what this author will do next.

I read this book and absolutely LOVED it! It was incredibly powerful and it left a permanent imprint on me. Meredith’s mother was terrible; everytime she was mentioned I wanted to gag..ugh! Overall though, it was a phenonimal book.

im sorry. but i have a question.

what happened at the end??
did Andy end up going to the victim soul person?
and i also didnt understand when she looked up the word Pious?

*******************Spoiler alert!!*************************

Yes, Andy did visit the victim soul person, but the man died before Andy saw him. I can’t remember exactly why Meredith looked up pious, but I think within the story the word had some meaning for her in terms of her relationships with both Andy and her father.

—-spoliers———–

but the last line of the book says “meet his shining gaze and smile. he is so tall”
the last line suggests that he did get cured, no??

This was a phenominal book!! It was great. I am probably the only person who doesn’t totally hate meredith’s mother.

I loved the end the most how andy gives the magdalene figure to her for “good luck” and it ended up being GOOD luck!!

Yes I believe Andy can now walk! Just like in his dream he walked to her just as she figured everything out! But I still don’t understand what she figured out….
so I guess I’ll have to do my own research! I’ll let you all know what I find!
