What Members Thought
Although this book takes on an issue that is fairly timely given it’s prominence in the media these days, I don’t think it’s in any way a preachy book. It does a good job of exploring the issue without making the whole book about convincing someone to change their mind about the issue.

This books starts out slow and a little ... uninteresting until Claude arrives. Once Claude is here, the story really takes off. I found it to be a pretty powerful statement on parenting, acceptance, what we do for our children, what our children do for siblings, and just our society in general. Well worth the read.
A beautiful, heartbreaking, important book.
I really enjoyed this book. Great subject matter. Loved all the characters.
