This was a fast read, very well written. Chapters changed point-of-view, which was different than most stories but not confusing or jumbled. It was a good, family-oriented story with ups and downs like any real family. Everyone had their own issues they were dealing with and hiding from each other, but like all families, they find out the truth and come together in the end. Great for any fan of cozy family stories, like Debbie Macomber's books. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a good light-hearted story to read.… (meer)
