Read this book while on spring break last week with the family in the Keys...was done with in it in 3 days. I enjoyed the story, although at times it seemed to repeat itself a bit. Evokes sympathy for the men in your life, understanding for those with children who face different challenges and a realization that abnormal families are normal...and fabulous. A good book to pick up when you don't want to have to think too hard about what it is you are ready...
This is an excelent read. I completely enjoyed it!
I loved this book. Kim Edward did a great job with the complex minds of the characters.
This book is tough to read but only because of the issues raised. I could only imagine the difficulty raising a child with Down's Syndrome must be. The struggles and the accomplishments. The dreams that may never come true. Regret, worry, sorrow are all very powerful themes in this book. It is an excellent read. Very thought provoking.
I picked up this book with high hopes due to the plot description on the back cover. Once I started reading it I felt slightly annoyed by the lead characters. I know that the time period in which this story takes place does not lend itself to talking openly about family tragedies but I felt that the relationship between the protaganist and his wife was mind numbing. I was hoping she would find out before he died but alas it did not happen. I felt the conflict could have made the story that much better. There seemed to be missing something.
