As the story progressed, it was clear to see the correlation between the title and the chapters. Though the narrative was somewhat slow-paced for the 1st 5 chapters, the narrator at last seemed to connect to the protagonist with empathy, passion and excitement. As the story progressed with ups and downs, twists and turns, sorrow and hope, joy and peace…one was compelled to keep turning the page. What a wonderful movie or tv series it would make. A definite 5 Star read, no ifs, ands or buts
