Davina - BookBrowse
This is a stunning book - both gripping and thought provoking. Carner writes with an ease and impact that belies the fact that this is her first published novel. She, and it, deserve a wide audience, no, not a wide audience, a huge audience. This book should be required reading by every judge, attorney and social worker in the country who has anything to do with children.
