Shauna Niequist is a woman I wish I could be friends with! I loved her previous book "Cold Tangerines" as well as this one! She has such a powerful message to send, yet does it in such a simple, relatable way. Reading some chapters I laughed out loud and reading others I cried until I could barely see - sometimes I did both on the same page. So many of her chapters resonate so deeply with me - her views on parenting, marriage, spirituality, friendships, etc. - I can completely relate to what she writes on so many levels. A very uplifting and inspirational journey! Can't say enough fantastic things about Shauna's writing. I can't wait to read her other books!...more

Very disturbing and horrific subject matter when reading about what went on at the concentration camp - hard to read at times and hard to believe this book is based on true events. Very well written - I was hooked from the first page to the very last page in the Author's Note. It was interesting to read about the author's journey through researching and writing this novel in the Author's Note....more
