Title: Couldn't stop reading, or crying
Review: Although I do not typically read young adult fiction, no longer being anything approaching a 'young adult', this book was a wonderful find. The emotions that run through this book are so true. Being the parent of a child who is mentally challenged, I heard my own voice so often in Heidi's thoughts. Her struggles to know her mother mirrors the struggles that all people who live and work with the mentally disabled experience. And Ms Weeks does a wonderful job of fully drawing all her characters. She treats both Bernadette and Sophia with dignity and respect, even while showing them in an honest light. Even though some of the events seem implausible, you want to believe that life can give us the answers we seek.
