Customer Reviews

The perfect title for this book...

This story is simply about a typical family, with some extraordinarly lives and careers, but typical family problems. Each and every person in this family creates their own conflict, and bonds the family into something bigger and stronger. I loved the movie for this story, but I loved the book more... of course! Each member does something to test the love of the entire family unit, and the results are extraordinary! Anyone from a big family, will love this one!!

It is a book for women

This is a book that shows women's strength. DS manages to do that in most of her books though. She takes you down a path & you feel as if you've lived it, even though it can be tough and sad. You are so happy when things go right...Set aside some time to read this book. As several of her books do, they start out a little slow, but pick up after the first 50 pages, where she uses to describe the people & places.

A truly helpful book

It was about time a mainstream author wrote a family story that included a realistic depiction of the coming out process of a gay son, and the parents and siblings' reactions to it. I'd only just met my first gay person when I read this book. I've since come to learn that the father's reaction is, unfortunately often typical. I've also learned that gay couples can be just as committed and loving as heterosexual ones, as this book depicts. Thank you Ms. Steel!

One of her BEST!

Only Daddy could beat this book! Although it's a long read, it's worth it. Faye is the woman we all want and strive to be and Ward is the man that we all want (although he DOES disappear at the most inopportune times) And poor little Anne! I felt like a part of their family in this novel...TRY IT!

A WONDERFULLY SUPERB BOOK!

Steel is at her best again. Faye is a woman with five children all of who are extremley different from one another.Her husband seems to take off everytime a problem arises.Faye is determined to love her children unconditionally even when she learns that her oldest son is gay. This book will take you through the ups and downs of life and how this family deals with their problems. It teaches you a lesson about life, not to give up when the going gets tough.So sit back and enjoy your ride.
