I was surprised how much this book actually moved me & read it again, as for loving the whole family & gatherings as I do. I really enjoyed & got totally immersed in this one. Oh Tracy what a brilliant read yet again, but for some reason this book got to me. Thank you. This isn't a light and frothy book. None of her books are - they always teach you something and make you think about something in a new light. And that's why I keep reading them - there's always something I didn't expect. Yet another marvelous book by TCP! She has yet to disappoint me. Pride can get you into a lot of trouble. I really liked this book ...
