Bittersweet tale about a man who gives away his daughter at birth because she has Down's Syndrome.
At first I felt I had to wade through some of Kim Edward's florid prose, but by the section of the book called "1977" the story seemed to take off and move along at a smoother pace. As with all over-hyped books there were high expectations that I knew couldn't be met, so I read without trying to set myself up for disappointment. I got more interested in the story as it progressed and was surprised how much I enjoyed it overall. Being from Kentucky, it was a treat reading about settings of which I was familiar. I do recommend it with the caveat that story doesn't seem to take off until the middle.
