The story is Reta's journey in understanding her daughter's world while keeping her other children, house, husband and job going.

A real page turner, couldn't wait to find out the ending, and when I did, it reminded me...........never make assumptions! Great book, by a very talented and gifter writer.

A good read...tragic and funny at the same time and a book any mother can relate to with empathy.

This book was ok. I keep waiting for it to "get going". I just wanted more of a story.

I enjoyed reading this novel!
