This book is way out of my usual genres, but I saw so many PBSers compliment it in the forums that I took a chance and requested it. I enjoyed it very much! Mary, a wife and mother of 2 teenage sons, is still grieving for her mother 5 years after her death. She meets Cathy, a young girl many years her junior, who then loses her mother unexpectedly--and they immediately forge a very strong friendship. And they set off on a college adventure! I thought the characters were all very likeable, there was lots of humor, and also lots of teary moments. Just the right mix. I am glad I trusted my fellow PBSers!!
