I read this book 15 years ago and it has remained an all time favorite. A warm, loving story. I have never cried harder reading any other book and I loved it! One of Delinsky's best. Just a reminder to fellow reviewers...please think twice before giving up the end of a story. At the very least, title your review "Spoiler Alert". If you aren't able to write your review without revealing major information, please consider not writing the review at all.

The story was beautifully written. It was almost spoiled by the hundreds of repeating typos. I hope that iBook will take responsibility and fix this. Still, the book itself is nourishing and cathartic,even though sad.

This. Was the saddest story I ever read. I bawled like a baby when Bree died, at the funerall and when tom's father and family showed up. Kudos.
