My Thoughts: This book, as I understand it, is a reprint of one of Melody's earlier works. I need to go back and read all of her stuff!! Melody really knows how to portray many kinds of relational issues - across generations, among siblings, amidst very difficult and emotionally difficult situations - I mean, she covers it all! And she does so realistically, and with such emotional and spiritual impact that you will come away understanding anew that God loves us in spite of our messes, and will go to a lot of trouble to reach us where we are - in whatever circumstances we find ourselves.

This is an emotionally charged read, but very, very worth your while! Enjoy!!
