"I chose not to read it at first because I understood that it was about the tragic death of a child; and being a fairly new mom myself, I didn't want to read about the death of a child! However, Ann Hood, the author of this book, I met her at a writing festival and heard her story of how she came to write this novel; and that story was very moving. So of course I had to read the novel. The novel is based on her true-life experiences of having lost her daughter to a sudden illness when she was five. So I learned that the book was actually not about the tragic death of a child; it was actually about healing and friendship and life. What I liked best about this book is the way that the author interweaves all these different storylines to create this fabric of the protagonist Mary's life. It's very beautifully done, the way the stories are told; and you really get to know Mary the protagonist as a person and watch her evolve from a totally grief-stricken person to this -- to someone who is now open and open to life and living again. So it's also in a way very inspirational; I think that's what I like about it. I have to admit that this book is more of a chick book, so I would recommend it to women friends, perhaps -- that's it, my women friends -- whether they're a mother or not. I would give this five stars out of five."
