I am normally not one who runs out and buys a book the moment it releases. I've never stood in line for 48 hours for a Harry Potter book or anything like that. But this book is one that I think I will have to run out and buy when it releases here in a few days.
For my blogging buddies not from around here, you didn't hear about this story for days and days like we did, but it did hit national news, so you probably did see it if you lurk around breaking stories very much. There was an accident involving a van of students and staff from Taylor University - and five people were killed. That was big enough and heartbreaking enough news in and of itself, but then a few weeks later, they discovered the identity of the survivor coming out of a coma was actually not what they thought. One of the girls who was thought to be dead was really alive...and of course the same was also true in reverse.
The two families have now written a book and it's such an unusual and intriguing story that I am very anxious to read it.
So if you're looking for a new book to read...doesn't get much newer than this!

I want to read that! That was absolutely tragic and jaw-dropping.
That is a book to get. I cannot imagine what that must have been like for the family who found out their daughter was the one who had died. To have taken care of someone and find out she is not your daughter and vice versa.
ditto - I'm not much of a reader (gasp!) but I will be reading this one! ~Jaye
I remember reading the blog they had up for Whitney and it was fascinating. I was sad when they took it down, because I thought it was such a great testimony to their faith and to God's healing!
I would just like to say, I have NEVER stood in line for 48 hours for a Harry Potter book...2 hours, yes, but not 48! LOL
You know I remember reading that they didn't end up suing the parties at fault. I don't know if that was correct or still the case. If it is, I believe that is a wonderful testimony in itself...especially in today's society of suing just because you can!! ~Jaye
