Mistaken Identity

I am a book junkie lately. I have been going through one after another. I am currently reading a heart wrenching book. It is about a horrific car crash and equally horrific circumstances that follow. A survivor's identity is confused with that of a girl who dies in the crash. I am only about half way through the book, so far it is a wonderful read although painful. Knowing that the family by the survivor's side are going to find out that that is not their child, that their child is dead and buried, like I said heart wrenching. But there is a message in this book that I believe is the reason the families wrote it. A message of faith. As I read it I find myself finding comfort in their strength. I find myself jealous of the magnitude of their beliefs. I also find myself never wanting to let my loved one's go, seeing how fast their lives changed, in the blink of the eye essentially, it is a scary thought. If you want to read a bit about the story of what happened you can look here. It is the story from USA Today, you may find yourself recalling this as you read, it did make national headlines at the time. If you want to check out the book, look here.

The only thing I miss about blogging on Myspace is not being able to list the books I am reading so I think you may find me mentioning them here from time to time. Before this current book I read Valerie Bertinelli's book which I have to say was super revealing. It also was a good read.
