Ladies grab a box of Kleenex and get ready for one of the most moving, most poinent books that I have ever read.' – Harlequin Junkie'This book had me nodding my head in agreement at times, laughing at others and also broke my heart. … It kept me on the edge of an emotional abyss while I read it and even though it broke my heart, it was a totally satisfying read. Word to the wise – don’t read in public!' – Between My Lines'It’s impossible not to be sucked into the worlds of Martha and Alex… One of my favorites of the year, and I do plan on sharing this with my girlfriends!' – Chick Lit Plus'I highly recommend this read, it was heart-warming, gut wrenching, emotional and extremely powerful.' – Family Saga Reviews
