I enjoyed this book, which reads like a good novel. The author did a credible job tying together the lives of eleven women. For me, the most touching stories were those about Marilyn's family, and the bullying/mean girl time that Sally endured. I thought that there was too much written about Karla and her daughter Christi, and not nearly enough about some of the other Ames girls. At the end, there are some, specifically Karen, about whom we know almost nothing. Overall, this was a good read, and not overly sentimental or candy-coated.
