Wow! What story! I had to have a tissue every time I picked the book up. The boys were so embarrassed because I was reading in public with tears! Did you have the same reaction? The story was so well written. I loved the characters- especially the neighbor, what a great friend. Did you think she would make that decision in the end? I was surprised by her choice but impressed that she could come to that conclusion. What would you have done?
