This book is one that I would not have ordered or bought but one I got through a book club due to not declining the book selection in time and therefore purchasing it and a couple of others. I missed this deadline due to my fathers passing on the 2nd of Feb. 2012. In the confusion of those events I missed the deadline. However in this case it was a good thing. This book is an emotional one but one I feel has been written very well. Although it deals with events that some of us have never had to deal with it does deal with feelings and emotions that I believe we all experience in our lives. It shines a light on how during everyday life we can so instantly crush those we love by saying things and acting in ways that are hurtful simply because we are being selfish and self center, not thinking clearly or with concern for others. It was a great reminder to me on how fragile people are and at the same time how strong we can be when times are rough. I got this book on Wednesday and finished it today, Saturday. I shed many tears as I read these pages and loved it. I would recommend this book as a great read, just be prepared for the emotions of it. I will have to check out this authors other books.
