Where do I even begin? This book struck me clear to my heart. I fell in love with each and every character. I wanted to be friends with them, I wanted to sit on the porch with them, and be a part of their wonderful group. They made me want to be a better person. It's not often that a fiction book can change you, but this one definitely had that affect on me. I want to buy this book for each of my family members and close friends so they can experience this wonderful book too! If you read this book, you not only will not regret it, but it just might have an impact on you too! Now my next step is finding more books by Valerie Fraser Luesse! Your first step needs to be finding this book and starting it!
