* * *. On Amazon's Top 100 for 2011.

An aging mother mysteriously disappears from a subway station. As they search for her, each member of her immediate family thinks back to special events that made her stand out as a mother or wife.

Each chapter changes to continue the story in a different person's viewpoint; what I can only describe as the "second person" viewpoint. It is this unique style that keeps you riveted to this small book as you read about this family and their missing mother/wife. Keep some hankies handy.

Add a * if you are someone who knew/knows the value your mother was/is in your life.
