A sad but realistic story of a typical american family dealing with the AIDS disease within their family. Very well written. It had an unsatisfying ending for me though...I didn't feel closure.

I don't like Alice Hoffman in general but would say this is her best book that I know of. It's a touching and sad story, even if its telling is slightly sentimental.
