by Tired Bookreader (Florida): Every year, there is one book that sticks out as an excellent read; one that stays with you and you think of often; the story never leaves you. This book, about very strong women under challenging circumstances and how they manage to not only survive, but to thrive. I am so impressed by the author’s writing and the fact that the story never lulled. This is one of the most interesting books I’ve ever read. Kudos to Christina Baker Kline. I have become a fan.
