Fig Pudding Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Authors should realize that it's hard to read their books when your eyes are filled with tears. Ralph Fletcher, please take note! Being from a family of 6 I could relate to this family (there were 4 boys before I came along, and six years later my sister). We never had to deal with the tragedy in this book, but we certainly had some of the laughs and craziness written about in Fig Pudding. Thank you, Ralph Fletcher for sharing this beautiful story. "
