This was a good read. Believable and engaging plot, and not too easy to figure out. A little more violence than I like. Still kept me up late into the night reading the next few pages...

Finally a mystery to read that I can share with my elderly mom or a young niece. Lacks profanity, gratuitous sex, and graphic violence. But wait!! It contains a good plot, interesting character development, and humor. I will look for more of these.

I loved reading this book! It is a book about a woman's entire life, her upbringing, her marriage, her multiple children. She has a disabled child long before anyone thought about educating such children in schools, so much is centered around how she advocates for that child. So well written. I was sorry it came to an end.
