I thought a lot of the characters were under developed and I didnt like the main character. Very hard reading for me! (  ) jlouise77 | Apr 8, 2009 |  NULL  carlsonn | Mar 29, 2009 | Great down-to-earth book. A real book about the emotions of losing someone tragically and suddenly. A reminder to live for the moment. (  ) kkhughes | Jan 14, 2009 | As with all of JCO's novels, there is much more to this book than I originally assumed after reading the first few chapters. The dual identities of the characters crept up on me and I looked back on my initial premises with surprise as I continued to read. She draws her readers into character and plot complexities with such mastery. This book is harrowing, heart-rending and, above all, absorbing. ` ( ) pdebolt | Jun 16, 2008 | Another great book from one of my favourite authors. A daughter's love for her mother is explored as she and her sister come to terms with the shocking murder of their mother and family secrets are laid bare in the process. An intimate protrait of a small community reeling in the wake of a devastating crime. Wonderful. (  ) bhowell | May 30, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
Nikki Eaton, single, thirty-one, sexually liberated, and economically self-supporting, has never particularly thought of herself as a daughter. Yet, following the unexpected loss of her mother, she undergoes a remarkable transformation during a tumultuous year that brings stunning horror, sorrow, illumination, wisdom, and even—from an unexpected source—a nurturing love.
