My Thoughts:
This was a good book.  Brad and Darlene have moved their three children from the big city to the country.  They were high school sweethearts and have been married for years.  Their eldest, Chad, was running with the wrong crowd.  Their youngest has learning difficulties and she seems to be doing significantly better but their 'good kid' may have problems that neither is aware of.  Darlene feels the need to venture outside the home for some fulfillment and it causes serious issues with the family.
I love the snake at the beginning of the book!  That was priceless.  All of the characters are well written and I like that the husband, Brad, and the wife, Darlene, have been together for so long--that just is great to me.  The fact that they are somewhat blind to their 'good kid's' issues is fitting and real.  All the feelings and emotions are something that anyone can relate to but especially a married couple.  It will make you think about how much God effects your lives and how much you need Him for your family!!
I rate this a 5/5.  The whole book was good, you will laugh, cry and feel everything the characters feel.
