Title: surpassingly lovely
Review: Utterly Compelling.Poignant and achingly beautiful prose.Heart renderingly bittersweet, and yet so uplifting.What an amazing journey Luanne Rice leads us through.There really are no leads in this book. She writes thestory with such even-handedness. Each character fully realized, including a cat and a dog.There are several love stories here.Man and Woman.Mother and child. Father and daughter.And friends of the heart.Her ever so gentle portrait of the love of a family for a severely disabled child is stunning. Reading aboutthe child's physical problems and the care she requires is not depressing. It is inspirational.Another child has problems other than medical. I loved her character. Anne of Green Gables is mentioned as a favorite bookof one of the characters. This book has the same gossamer quality of happy-healing-loving warmth.Just a downright beautifully written, perfectly realized story.
