this is a well written, moving and thought provoking look at these families and how they dealt with the death of a young husband and wife. I didn't like the ending, but overall liked the book.

very slow moving, couldnt get into it. Not like her other books that really grabbed me from the start. Maybe if I gave it more of a chance I would feel differently- but I just couldnt keep reading.

How we love and care for family and who makes up our family are at the heart of Jacquelyn Mitchard's book A Theory of Relativity. Do some people and do some laws consider adopted children less than full-fledged family members? The custody battle that takes center stage addresses wording in a statute that does not give adopted children the same rights as blood relatives.

For the most part, I found this to be a good book about an interesting family drama. I had trouble with aspects of the car crash that I don't want to spoil for those who have not read the novel. The ending was a bit too tidy. A recommended read.
