This book was great. The prose is beautiful and the characters are real and have you rooting for some, angry at others, and ache for others. The story is full of hope and heartache and forgiveness and love.
This book I borrowed from a co-worker.
For the most part I liked it. I told awhile to get into, some of the narrative was wordy to me. But I liked the message that love comes in all forms and all ways.
