This was a wonderful story! It is a bit of heartache with a bit of hope (only a small bit), but as the story unfolded I found I truly loved the characters. It is the everyday magic theme that Hoffman is known for. Mare Winningham has a wonderful voice and was a perfect storyteller for the story.

This story follows a family path through ruin and redemption, how people enter your life and change it forever.
Mare Winningham does a wonderful job of telling this story. Her voice is steady and calm as she tells of Arrie's struggles in life. I could not wait to get back in my car and listen to this book.

What a beautiful, haunting, unusual story! I'd not read any of Alice Hoffman's work and am now a big fan. Still only halfway through this audio CD set but I'm enjoying every word...narrated by Mare Winningham who does a spectacular job. I'll be sad when it's over...
