There are not enough superlatives to describe this latest book by the very talented Wally Lamb. It is the story of a family struggling to redefine itself when a long-term marriage ends and when long-held secrets create multi-layered dysfunctions. Wally Lamb's characters are revealed with a compassionate understanding of their struggles and their love for each other. At the end of this book, we want them to succeed individually and as a unit. I hated to see this book end. I have always loved Wally Lamb's books, but this one is exceptionally good.
