“If I had known what it meant to love, I wouldn't have had children, because once we love, we love forever, like Uncle Two's wife, Step-aunt Two, who can't stop loving her gambler son, the son who is burning up the family fortune like a pyromaniac.”

I guess it is a small world! Chances are I know your cousins, Big Rapids isn't very large. Where are you residing these days?
Hi Suzanne. Thanks for adding me as a friend. When I picked up Love You to Pieces and added it to my list, I noted all the great books you have on your list. Having lived in Japan from 1986-89, I'm always on the hunt for great literature about Japan or Asia, and you're a great resource! I'm also enjoying your blog (and I also love Vicki Forman's writing as well).Cheers!
Marie
Suzanne, I've added The Broken Bridge, Losing Kei and your other book Love You to Pieces to my to-read list.
