This book is very well written and moves along pretty quickly; good character development. I really enjoyed the "story within a story" as told by the lead character's little sister. However, based on the description, i thought there would be more excitement in this "cross-country search," which turned out to be just sitting around a farm house in Montana in the dead of winter. I also found the dad's miracles and the lead character's asthma to be weird outliers that have little to do with the main story at hand....
