Someone posted on the forum that they liked this book very much so I decided to give it a try. I wasn't disappointed - a very good read and I plan to read more books by this author.

....this is a great story about a family crisis that spun out of control. A new baby, a young teen sister and a very loving mom and dad; baby has accident occur in sister's care and there it goes! I really was able to get into this book as the characters are believable (mom is a bit hard on her widowed mom). The family, though if this were real life, should have realized how very LUCKY they were to have such extended family support emotional and financial. I think most readers of women's fiction will enjoy this book very much!

An intersting story that takes you into the lives of a family that appeared well put together, but were crumbling inside their own home.

I really liked this book...except for the ending! Too many unanswered questions. It just ended before the story was done, like the author just stopped mid-book. A bit disappointing.
