I was immersed in this book. It was the kind of book that kept me up all night and wake up early to finish the story. Two fathers work together to find out who killed their sons. I loved the character development and how each father had to come to terms with themselves. Ike had to look at who he was as a father, and so did Buddy Lee. It's heartbreaking that they had to lose their sons to realize how poorly they had treated them. It's so realistic though. We don't always get the chance to apologize and say sorry. We don't always get to mend the broken hearts that we've created. Ike and Bobbi Lee learned to be better than they were in the past.
