Merry Mary delivered a believable story allowing us to connect with Scottie. While we might condone her actions, as the story unfolds we certainly understand her motives and feel her internal struggle. It highlights human connections and the power of love between a child and a mother, a brother and a sister. It portrays the way family willing protects those they love. Farley does a great job of sharing Scottie's mindset, her volatile marriage and the hardships she has endured. As events unfolded, I understood her actions, and the way she reasoned things in her mind. I appreciated how realistic the story was particularly the ending. The story could have been heartbreaking but Farley focuses on the powers of faith, family and love delivering the perfect holiday read.
