The heat wave continues to burn in KC....so I am inside reading. Friends, I hope your weekend was cooler than mine.
I have read every single one of Mary Kay Andrews books...and love them all. This is my number one beach (or AC) read for the summer. Pour yourself a glass of wine, put your feet up, and escape.
This novel will make you think and feel. It is about suffering, loss, struggle, courage, triumph. It is not depressing....it is inspiring...this resilient human spirit is in all of us!
Favorite quotes:
"I learned long ago that loss is not only probable but inevitable. I know what it means to lose everything, to let go of one life and find another."
*****
"So is it just human nature to believe that things happen for a reason--to find some shred of meaning even in the worst experiences?"
This movie has it all...I absolutely loved it. I laughed. I cried. It made me think about how we, as mothers, recreate ourselves over and over with each chapter of our (and our children's) lives. Susan Sarandon is absolutely phenomenal in this film....her best performance yet. (And I can NOT believe she is 69...she looks amazing.)
