When I heard about the original accident, I thought, "Oh, how terrible, five people died and one was seriously injured" and promptly forgot about it. Cut to five weeks later when.........the injured woman woke up and we all discovered that the "wrong" woman was mourned and buried.
It's not the first time this has happened; a similar incident took place in Iowa in the early 1980s, and I've heard of this elsewhere as well.
These families have been through something only they can possibly understand.
As for the strong Christian message, they were students at a Christian college and both have parents in the ministry, so what did you expect? And even before I finished the copy I got from the library, I purchased this book and donated it to my own church's library.
 I don't usually read non-fiction books, but ... July 5, 2008

I enjoyed this book a lot. It's amazing and scarey that something like this mix-up could happen, but equally as amazing that the two families were able too accept and not blame others for it. I'm a Christian but I'd like to live my life closer to God the way these two families have. I'll be looking online to see what's happened to the two families since the book's publication.

Very heartfelt story. I bought three copies of this book after I read it because I wanted to share it with others. The amount of faith, love, happiness, sadness and mercy in this book should be a lesson to everyone. It certainly was to me.
Sad but uplifting July 2, 2008

I very much enjoyed this book - the level of detail was so great that I felt like I was really there, watching the terrible true story unfold. It's true, the religious element can get a little bit much and I did find myself skipping over some of the longer Bible passages. That didn't even come close to ruining the book for me, though, because the story was enthralling. At times the book had me near tears, but it's also strangely uplifting. The families are both an inspiration in the way they dealt with what happened to them, and I wish them all the best for the future. Definitely recommended.
