Was so excited to receive this book from my wish list. But it was a bit disappointing. Have to agree with another reviewer in that I also did a lot of skimming. Too many words explaining what I thought were unimportant issues. Of course when I mentioned this critique to my daughter she said "well Mom , that's what books are...words" But I think PBS readers know what I mean. Way too much description. I thought the story line was good, not many surprises until the very end, but all in all it made me think about the horrors that some families experience in similar situations.
