I feel like I have survived the loss of a child. O'Nan's writing is subtle and so subversive, you don't realize you are LIVING the experience until you put the book down and have to convince yourself that didn't happen to your family. Its chilling and also heroic in describing how a family could go on despite a missing daughter. I have a new profound compassion for the children on the milk carton now. ]]>

I have the sneaking suspicion I have read this book before. Was worth a second read. Though I found my self terribly annoyed with many one of main characters the book focuses on, I found it interesting to look at just WHY they annoyed me so. Does each woman act in ways that remind me of myself, or a friend who I put up with, or someone I wish I knew how to deal with? If you are not triggered by the circle of friends or at least recognize relationships within your own girlfriend circle, you are lucky. ]]>
