The Kindness Of Strangers by Katrina Kittle

At the January meeting of the daytime book group at our local library I announced that I would not be at the February meeting and that I was not reading the book.  I explained I felt that it was a bad time of year to deal with such a depressing subject.  Because,  The Kindness Of Strangers deals with sexual abuse of children, I felt that it was a poor choice for mid winter.  After our leader explained that Katrina Kittle was an author from Dayton (which is pretty close to our little town of Wilmington Ohio)  and that she really liked the book,  I decided to start the book but was resolved that if it was upsetting I was not going to finish it.  I can assure you that the author had me reeled in very early in the novel.  It is a great book about the ability of the human spirit to heal after great tragedy.  It is also a book that teaches the reader signs to look for to keep the children in their lives safe.   The book is  a fictional story about a community in Dayton where doctors and lawyers live that is rocked by the discovery of a ring of child pornography film makers living in their midst.   It is a novel that everyone should read.  Please click on the title and the author's name above to follow three links for more information.  And please watch the first two videos that follow.  The third video is wonderful but a little longer for those interested in more information from the author.
