What a terrific book! I loved Cathy Lamb's "Julia's Chocolates" so was sure I'd enjoy her story-telling style again. This compelling story of the Bommarito family really reached into my soul. An emotionally abusive mother of three daughters and a son sounded too familiar too many times throughout the book (similar family situation). And the sadness I felt when the daughters expressed their yearning for just a hug from their mother.
A very moving story, sometimes funny, sometimes a little twisted, but always showing the LOVE each sister felt for each other, and especially for their brother, Henry.
Memorable line that really sums up this story: "And yet we were searching, endlessly searching, for the most innocent of all emotions, the purest of feelings, and what the heart longs for above all else: LOVE."
