There are several layers of plot that culminate into an ending that is inspirational and uplifting. Just when you think Marilyn has conquered her demons she goes back time and again. She doesn't want to leave anything incomplete, and we're up late at night flipping pages to see what transpires. A Hitchcockian thriller that unravels as each page is turned, while the reader knows this isn't a fable, a fantasy, or fiction we sympathize with the protagonist and cheer her every step of the way. Unbelieveable! A must read.
