I loved the stark truthfulness in this book. As an 'old social worker', I've worked with many children over the years who could have written similar words. A brutally honest, first-person account - guaranteed to make many people uncomfortable because it isn't 'nice and neat.'

I love Gail Caldwell's honesty in this emotionally bare memoir. I, too, lost my 'chosen' sister - to melanoma - when she was just 52. Gail's words perfectly captured the pain and grief I experienced. Reading someone else's similar journey so beautifully articulated made me feel 'less alone.'

Was surprised to see the Litsy community rated this only at 58%. I loved the characters in this book and the 'voice' in which it was written.

Totally a #beachbook read - in a good way!!

This book will make your heart ache for the thousands of children caught in this same journey. Hugely empathetic prose. Highly recommend, but be warned - this book will linger in your subconscious for a long while.

Stylistically similar to Dan Brown, but different enough to hold my attention. I liked this book.

This was an unexpectedly magnificent read! If you pick this up, plan to be fully captivated through the lady page. 100% yes.

Always look forward to a good Baldacci sprint. First 50 were slower than normal, but hang with it - pace does pick up!

Was okay as a short-stint 'late night' read (#insomniabuster), but it seems Grisham is falling into the formulaic ditch.

I was so excited when this book was available on my library 'holds' list. Just did not hold my attention - after the first chapters, I bailed.

Highly recommend this captivating book. One I could not read fast enough!
