Read in March, 2008

Not sure I liked it...one of those books that I liked, but was a bit disappointed in the way it was written. Not sure why.

The book is written well. It is the story of a girl who had something pretty horrible happen to her years before. In the present she is a social worker for homeless and she is given some pictures taken by a formerly homeless man who has passed away. She becomes obsessed by the pictures and the people the pictures may be of and decides it is her 'destiny' to find out about the pictures and the person who took them.

There's a "big twist" at the end and a lot of the plot of the book leads up to that big twist. I just wasn't sure if I liked how it was revealed, if it made me like the characters or care more about them or if it made me more confused. It might be one of those books I put in my Scarlett O'Hara category - "I'll think about it later."
