Title: Optimistic, encouraging, inspiring!
Review: Judy does it again! This book is so real. Sometimes divorce is the BEST thing that can happen to a family. At the time, divorce might be upsetting & Karen's family goes through a "mourning period" as families need to when the parents' marriage ends. But what this book excellently illustrates & that Karen comes to realize, is that divorce does NOT mean the end of a family or a "broken home." She realizes that her mother is much happier & more relaxed, even though her mom cries when she remembers the marriage. One good message I got from the book was that it is better for a kid to grow up in a peaceful single-parent home than a tense two-parent home filled with fighting. Parts of the book are sad, but without being depressing. This book is very uplifting & inspiring the way Karen & her family pick up the pieces, rebuild & by the end, you know they're still a family & will go on.
