Title: Starts off slow, but worth a read
Review: While this is an ultimately satisfying novel, it does start off very slowly and you need to be patient with it. The story of a family dealing with their young daughter's disfiguring and fatal illness is touching and realistic. Told from the father's perspective we come to realize that all parents experience many of the same joys, heartaches, and frustrations, whether their children are healthy or terminally ill. A quiet, thoughtful book that I will remember fondly.
