This is a non-fiction famiy memoir. My mom sent this to me practically demanding that I read 
the novel. I had a few other books started at the time, so I set it aside and forgot about it. Last week, I had a shortage of books to read, so I scanned my bookshelves and found this novel. I should have read it the moment my mom sent it!! This is a wonderful biography and a first time novel by the author.

It's pretty bad when a book can bring tears to your eyes in the first paragraph. This one did that to me. I loved it..
