Very good. Imperfect characters that you can identify with and a story that could have been plucked from real life. The main character Susannah, moves her children to a remote island community to save them from themselves, but ends up reminding them all to treasure the simple things. Susannah morphed, changed, and grew throughout this book, a real change, not a cop out ah-ha moment that some books like this give you. Her growth was realistic and rang true. If you like inspirational stories of hope and family- this is a must read. 5 stars.
