Every book I have read by Albom I have thoroughly enjoyed, and this one is no exception. More than anything, I really liked how he described his little family, and discussed what makes up a family.

You'd have to have the heart of Mitch McConnell not to be moved by this story of Chika, the little Haitian girl that Mitch Albom and his wife cared for while she underwent cancer treatment in the states. That said, this isn't the type of I normally would read (it is for a library book discussion I am moderating) and I have very mixed feelings about both the content and the writing. So for that reason I am leaving it unrated.

I read this in audiobook format, which as it was read by the author, but more importantly, had many recordings of Chika herself added immensely to the book.
It is a moving story, as most all of his books are, and one worth a slow think over.
