I wanted to like this book...and at times I did. The author was excellent at describing a family torn apart by grief, and how the death of a family member echoes through the lives of the living. The story lacked flow at some points as it alternated between heaven and earth. This is the only instance where I have enjoyed a movie more than a book!
