I enjoyed reading this book.
I really enjoyed this story.
I loved this book!!
From a Mothers point of view this story was a heartbreaking time in the life of someone who had so much going for her. The realism displayed during the grief, depression and months of trying to go on could only be written by someone who was close to the trials Mal went through. I don't think I'll ever forget the song that still rings in my mind that was part of the story. I felt the closure came when the children and her husband appeared in her dream and she was finally able to bury the ashes. I thought this was a good book and movie!

What a heartfelt story "Everything to Gain," was.Great characters, great drama, and great escapism. It dosn't matter if some things are "unbelievable"; the books content is so well written you can't help but cheer Meg on - you just want to tell her there is hope and to keep trying.
