ABOUT THE BOOK

Jed’s pain sends him on a quest for answers to mysteries woven through the fabric of his own life and the lives of the families of Defiance, Texas. When he finally confronts the terrible truths he’s been denying all his life, Jed must choose between rebellion and love, anger and freedom.
Daisy Chain is an achingly beautiful southern coming-of-age story crafted by a bright new literary talent. It offers a haunting yet hopeful backdrop for human depravity and beauty, for terrible secrets and God’s surprising redemption.

This book was difficult for me to read. I don't know if it was because of the abuse that occurs throughout the story or if it was the story itself. The ending left me hanging, which was a little frustrating. However, it did bring up a lot of difficult issues that are often ignored. If you are looking for a light read, this is not it. But, if you are looking for a though-provoking book, this will do it.
