Camille Pagan, this book made me cry. I was almost finished when I was sobbing so bad I had to put down the book. I can't remember the last time a book made me cry. Camille all I can say is wow. There is a quote in the beginning of the book "This story ends with loss." How true this statement is. You made me think about stories in my life, and it is true, all stories end with loss. My nephew, mom and two sisters have all died, and while their stories were happy they ended in loss.

I loved the way that you showed how true friendship never really goes away. Sometimes it just has to be hidden for a while. I really want to read your other books, but don't know if my eyes can take it. Again great story line, it will melt your heart and soul.
