T.L. Vance wrote a captivating book. I enjoyed it tremendously. Readers will root for the odd couple, first to find each other and then to stay together. Their friends add a big mix into the book. Some are privileged while others seem like normal people, but all are wonderful friends. There is some brutality as the man known as Bryant tries to tear the couple apart.
