![]() No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() The ending helped give this book 3 stars. Otherwise, it would have been less. I got so tired of the prison parts. I know prison is awful, but that is not what I wanted to read in this book. Ruth Ann's story didn't seem to go with the rest of the novel, although I would have liked a book all about her rather than about Delia and her friendship/love with 2 guys and her life with her father, all caught up in lies. When I began this book I couldn't put it down. I loved learning about Delia and her search and rescue company with her bloodhound Greta. Delia has a finance named Eric and a wonderful friend named Fritz. They have all grown up together and have been friends forever. You learn early that Delia was told her Mom was killed in a car crash and it has just been her and her dad since the accident. They have always had a very close relationship. All of a sudden the police show up and her dad; Andrew is arrested for kidnapping. The kidnapped victim is Delia herself! It was decided that Eric; Delia's fiancé who is a lawyer will represent Andrew. Soon the case is moved to Arizona and Delia, Eric, and Fritz go out there to be near Andrew as the case develops. Here is where I loved the book and hated it at the same time! The prison scenes were too graphic and ridiculous at times. Also there was so much Hopi Indian history, that sometimes I just lost what the story was about. As the case developed and Delia was able to meet her Mom, the book definitely kept my interest. I am glad I read the book, but at times I wanted to throw it across the room..... .I guess that's what makes a good book! no reviews | add a review
