This book reminds me of Where The Heart Is... a little corny, with characters you can't help but like, and a story line that just carries the reader away. Like the rest of Landvik's books, the characters are quirky and the plot moves in unexpected directions. Have tissues on hand before the ending!

Wonderful story of Violet Mathers and her wonderful life. Starting out in the Depression with a horrible family and horrible accident Violet's life takes many interesting turns. This book pulled me in even though i initially thought I wouldn't like it.

why has this not been made into a movie,?! Seriously,a little bit, "That Thing You Do" and "To Kill A Mockingbird", I couldn't stop reading this book. I Love the characters and the relationships that make this a must read.
