Wow. So many thoughts. First, it's the best novel I've read in a long, long time. Second, I have not experienced as many emotions in reading one book as I have this one. A major reason for that is because of where I am at personally and how much I relate on a personal level - but I didn't expect to relate to SO much of it on a personal level. Picoult truly did her research in understanding the fundamentalist Christian views on homosexual families, as well as truly understanding the reality of life for a lesbian family. Others might connect with the major intensity of what it feels like to be a woman who so desperately wants to be a mom, but can't. Everyone should read this book - if you want a perspective on how much gay families have to fight to be a family and how many Christians have done a lot of damage to gay families, read this book.
