Why read it?

Tangled Violets is beautifully written, and I could not put this book down. It's told from the point of view of an adopted child who grows up with many questions.
When she is an adult, she searches for her birth parents, and the story then takes an unexpected and disturbing turn. The characters are so real that I felt I was experiencing the story with them.
