I was immersed in this story to the point that I was crying when Todd's life came to an end.

Katrina Kittle weaves a heartfelt story that is filled with love, sorrow, pain, and redemption.

    <body><![CDATA[This was one of those books where, after crying through the last fifty pages or so, I just put down, closed it, and said, &quot;lovely.&quot; This was a great book that reminded me so much of what it means to love and to be loved--what it's really all about (not to sound like some song on a lite rad...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35209780">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book a couple times the first time being probably 1998 or so. It is a really touching story about a family going through life and dealing with what comes at them. Definately a tear jerker. You kind of want to go tell your family how much they mean to you when you are done with this one.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really didn't care for this book.  It started out okay, but for me there was too much focus on homosexuality.  Maybe I missed the point of the story, but a sister walking in on her brother and his lover was a little over the top for me.  I guess I felt like several scenes were just plain unnecessa...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5385919">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I finished this book in about 4 days, it was SO good.  Kittle's writing style is enthralling, and almost as good as in the Kindness of Strangers (still my favorite) -- and I definitely cried at various parts throughout the book.  Highly recommend it.]]></body>
