I'm reading the Book Club books out of order, because I've been poorly and have been spending a lot of time in bed.
This book is very much in the vein of Jodi Picoult, an author whose books I have enjoyed. This is the first Diane Chamberlain I've tried.
CeCe Wilkes, a sixteen year old waitress, is courted by Tim Gleason. Tim tells her the story of his sister on Death Row and enlists CeCe's help in a scheme to set the sister free. Of course things do not go according to plan, and CeCe is forced to go underground, and change her identity. Years later, her actions catch up with her.
I am fond of these issues/dilemma books, and this was a good example, although you knew from the outset how the story would pan out, the very ending was not given away at the start. A nice touch was the inclusion at the start of each chapter of letters written to CeCe by her mother, who had died when she was 12.
