This book sounded interesting because it is set in a Mennonite community in Canada and I was interested in gaining insight into what that life is like. BUT, the characters are so seriously disturbed that I ended up disappointed. The downward spiral of family disfunction, substance abuse, and most of all clinical depression just got to be too much for me and I didn't finish the book, which almost never happens.
