Morals were formed by example, a learned behavior, reinforced by continual practice and correction. Most people would find the simplicity of that statement unbelievable but Kim did not.

She remembered reading a quote about a notorious killer – a child who had murdered two boys when she was eleven years old. “Most people felt that a moral code was present from birth but in Kim’s own experience that was not the case. But I was able to empathize with the characters in the story and it got me thinking. I found it a little less intense than the others and I was not impressed about the climax. Is this the best Kim Stone book? I didn’t think so!
