this is a well written, moving and thought provoking look at these families and how they dealt with the death of a young husband and wife. I didn't like the ending, but overall liked the book.

very slow moving, couldnt get into it. Not like her other books that really grabbed me from the start. Maybe if I gave it more of a chance I would feel differently- but I just couldnt keep reading.

read the amazom reviews too much detail I don't often skip parts of a book but did with this one felt like "get on with it please" too much stuff about Gordon's escapades

This is so well written that you actually become a part of this character's life; I loved how "real" everything was ... it wasn't written like a cheesy made-for-TV movie, it was reality, true to life: there are depressing parts to the story, but there are also down right funny and happy parts too! This is a great book ... it will make you look at your own life a little differently --at least it did for me. :)

A heartbreakingly good book. A wonderful exploration of the meaning of family. The characters were not well flushed out, but a good book all the same.

An excellent exploration of what it means to be family. No easy answers here, just love and commitment, learning to accept.

Good writing, the kind that makes you really feel along with the characters.

Maybe this book particulary struck me because I related to parts of it, but I absolutely loved it!
