Gowdy's writing techniques in this book had me dumbfounded! i loved her exquisite mixed chronological text. i absolutely loved this book! the story is magnificent. it will make you both laugh and cry, and will make you think even your own family is normal! a truly great, read for a sophisticated reader.
