This was a great story. I loved the development of the main character and how her life was changed by the good people she came to know. The more I read, the harder it was to put it down.
Anna Quindlen just might be my new favorite author. This is the first book I've read by her, and her writing is wonderful. She can create characters with amazing back stories that brings them to life. You will feel you know them personally. I have been reading another of her books, Blessings, in tandem with this one, and have to say the same applies to the characters in that book as well. Love this author's writing! D.
