* Kemmerer expertly weaves each narrator's voice and vulnerable emotional progress into organic dialogue that promotes compassion, understanding, trust, and unity across differences, all while inexorably pulling her protagonists and plot threads toward a final standoff. . . A well-earned and gratifyingly thorough conclusion.
