The importance of family, forgiveness, humility, and love shine above an otherwise senseless loss. Kingsbury allows us to feels the loss but then shows the steps we go though in overcoming grief and ultimately living again with a joyful heart as life carries on and the prize of Heaven.

" While I have loved the Baxter family and all the many stories related to them, I think it is time for Ms. Kingsbury to move on to new characters. This read like a rehash of all the stories told before with a tear-jerking tragedy thrown in just to elicit emotion. Not my favorite of hers. "
