My Thoughts:

Before you even think of picking up this book make sure you have a block of time when you will not be disturbed because you will not want to put this down and if you are forced to, you will spend the time away doing nothing but thinking about this novel!

Anyone who holds family dear to them will love this book and be touched by every page.  This is a real tribute from a daughter to her mother who she took care of in the final stages of her life.  This story isn't all sad, it will have readers grabbing for the tissues and on the next page laughing out loud!

This is a true story of the evolution of a relationship and how it comes full circle - a mother who teaches her daughter about faith, family, and love...all attributes and qualities that the daughter will use to help her mother as her health declines.

Another neat aspect of this novel is how the author weaves her own story in and out of her mother's.  I am really beginning to love stories that show multiple story lines and this one is amazing.

I sincerely recommend this novel to my readers - you will love this journey and it will inspire you to think about your own family relationships.
