Jill’s favorite Sunday breakfast sermon was the "Rockefeller wouldn’t let his dog shit in our dining room" sermon. Her father was smart because he made Jill try to be number one all the time.

As I started reading I thought I was not going to have any interest at all in the story however after I got into the story I found myself more interested than I thought I was going to be.
