Why does the story jump around? Just when you have a feel for a character and story line, the next chapter is all new again. Why is there very little written about the Indian heritage and traditions? The book promo indicates the story involves an Indian family - but it could be any American culture. Why are some parts of the story left unfinished? I would not recommend this book.
