Title: Read the book first then watch the movie!!
Review: Movies rarely make exactly like a book, and this is no exception, but I think that in order to get a glimpse into the meaning of the movie the book has to be read first. First, Michelle Pfieffer is a dead ringer of her character, Ingrid. It took some patience for me to get through the whole book because everything is very descriptive from the weather, to the the places, to the characters, and especially to the feelings and thoughts of Astrid. This book gives insight into the foster system and how it shapes a person. One doesn't have control of where they might live from day to day and whether or not they might eat. But its also about the bond of a mother and daughter, one that is hard to break or sometimes to even bend. Its about control and the consequences of your choices.
