Memories to bear. It hurts.
With them come feelings.
Decisions will come.
He’ll be betrayed and lied to.
Has to make his choice.
The final test of bravery and courage will show all…
This was a really great book. The things that happen in this book are almost inconceivable, yet no one finds anything wrong with them. Their life truly is in black and white, though I never understood how they made it that way. They said things like her orange hair must drive them crazy, referring to making it black and white. Some things could have been explained a little better in my opinion, but I guess that’s part of the mystery of this book.
