When I first starting reading Darkness Before Dawn, I wasn’t sure I would finish it. It was a slow go for me for most of the first half. But I persisted and am glad I finished the book. There are some wonderful messages about life that I’m glad I didn’t miss. Towards the end I almost cried several times.
