Early Reviews: "The story grabbed me right away." "... a beautiful, very touching and realistic characterization of the mother/daughter bond." "...realistically...present[ed]...the issue of Heather's depression, and how that impacted her mother's life, and [the] continuous thinking about how to be there for her daughter; while also maintaining her own life." "A great look into somebody dealing with the struggles...of roles, separate from, while still entwined with, their adult children." "I loved the ending. I thought it was beautiful, poignant and very meaningful." "I had a really hard time putting it down. I loved...all the detail...put into describing places. It made for really fun reading and great local flavor."
