From the moment I started reading I was totaly committed. I was there in the lives of the characters. Joy even in this hard place where what's happening just shouldn't be happening, but is. Nothing really helps or heals, and this story takes you to the sharp edges of the lives we lead and in it connects us. Lovingly written.

My favorite paragraph -
"When you have been with your partner for so many years, they become the glove compartment map that you've worn dog-eared and white-creased, the trail you recognize so well you could draw it by heart and for this very reason keep it with you on journeys at all times. And yet, when you least expect it, one day you open your eyes and there is an unfamiliar turnoff, a vantage point that wasn't there before, and you have to stop and wonder if maybe this landmark isn't new at all, but rather something you have missed all along."
