I've read other books by this author and I'm pleased to say I enjoyed this one as much as the others. She took a deep subject and addressed it with heart and grace. The story jumps off the page and I stayed up all night to finish it -- which is a keeper in my estimation. I also like books by Jan Karon and I'm struck by the sensitivity and warmth that both authors convey. This is a book that I'll read again and that I'll recommend to my friends.
