Mar brought this one home from Book Club - not as their book club selection, just a book that was suggested. I read it. Let me give this impression. The first three-quarters of the book were not too bad. The last quarter was drawn out sentimentality. I hate to say it, but it turned into what I dislike about "LDS literature". Maybe all things did turn out nice, but it just got too gooey at the end. It didn't help that I had heard the story before.
Oh well, I'll give it a 2.5 becasue the first part was pretty well done.
Nope - not on the 501 Must Read list.
