By not liking this book very much I feel strange because the message within it goes right along with my faith. I was comforted by one scene where the living can see loved ones who passed away as a dream. That doesn’t change the fact that I didn’t like the book. First of all I don’t like to read stories about my worst nightmares as a parent. I do not need to imagine what it must be like to lose a child the way they do Missy.

Another book that I made it over halfway through and just can't get into. I don't know what all the hype is about. The writing is terrible. I get the theology of it, but I guess I'm just not that interested.
