" I enjoyed the midwestern farm/small town setting and thought the sister relationship was very realistic. I learned about the extreme stress of caring for a special needs child and how faith helps some cope with this situation. "
— Bernadette, 4/1/2013 -
" This was a heart-warming story about sisters and families and loss and love and God. But mostly, for me, it was about perceptions - of ourselves, of others, of our past - and how once you face how things really are as opposed to how you see them, your life will never be the same. "
