Customer Review #1:
Enjoyable and Real
I live in the Washington, DC area, so I loved the locale of the book, recognizing the names of the streets and stores. But what I really loved is the plot--that of following a widower coming through his grief. So often men die first. The story of a man surviving, and then finding a new life is really refreshing. And there are enough false starts in the story, as he finds his way, both with his children and with friends, that the story line flows quickly. A number of years ago, I read this authors non-fiction book, Crazy Love, and I was sorry to see that her other writing was primarily for youngsters. She has done a great job with this new book. Ill look for more from her.

Illuminating
How wonderful to see first-rate fiction written from a middle-aged point of view thats neither sappy nor faux-hip. This is a beautifully told story of love, loss and renewal. I was suspicious that Naylor, best known as a childrens writer, might not be up to the task, but she manages beautifully. Highly recommended as a good read...but with considerable depth as well. Try this one. You wont regret it.
