Beautifully written and moves at a pretty good pace. It's characters are wonderfully different yet they all mesh together and the story is one to remember.

This was an AMAZING book. It was conveniently how all the people came together in the end but the journey they took to get there was beautifully written.

One would think that a book with such a diverse cast of characters would be nothing but a train wreck but the book was so well done that it had me in tears during certain parts.

Give it a read. It is a bit slow at first but stick with it. You will not be disappointed

This new author has written a great novel about a bounty of unusual people who come together and help each other find their own truths. The characters remind me of Ann Tyler's...kooky and loveable. I hope Kallos writes many more books!

This was one of the best books I've read in a while. The characters were all so quirky and I just loved them all. My only exception was that it was a bit predictable. Still I highly recommend this book
