Noa P. Singleton is on death row but the mother of the girl she murdered (who is a powerful lawyer) says she has had a change of heart and will try to save Noa's life. The death penalty carried out will not bring back her daughter and it seems wrong to her 10 years later. This novel is told in sections leading up to the execution date starting 5 months out. Many chapters are flashbacks and memories of how Noa ended up where she is...waiting to die. It is obvious early on that there is more to the story than meets the eye. As it all unfolds, you are thinking this could be the greatest book you ever read. Then when it is done, you realize it didn't meet that mark but still interesting and well written. Since I could not come up with a better ending, I'm not trying to dis the author, I just wish she could have come up with something that equaled the hype that developed as I read the story.
