Although well-written, this short series of vignettes told from the point-of-view of a young girl, did not emotionally hit me like Hegi's following book, _Stones From the River_. If I'd read this one first, maybe my feelings would be different. If you're a fan of _Stones_, you'll enjoy this book simply because it continues the lives of the families (and babies) you've already become acquainted with. There was nothing particularly revealing that surfaced in this book, so don't expect surprises. Recommended if you really, really enjoyed _Stones_.
