Trivia
In 2005, William P. Young was working three jobs and living in a 900-square-foot apartment with his wife and four of his six children after losing his home to bankruptcy. He started writing a novel during his daily 40-minute train commute, hoping to express his feelings about God to his children, since he couldn't afford to buy holiday gifts. He expected his family and maybe a few friends to read it. The book sold over 20 million copies.

Goofs
It's hard to imagine that FBI agents would invite a grieving parent to the scene where his abducted daughter was assaulted or killed, leaving behind her blood and dress.

Quotes
Papa: Pain robs you of joy, and the capacity to love.
