Loved the author's style. Hard to put down.

Loved the detail...father's life was very interesting as well as treatment of sister. Had to read at intervals because it didn't take much to reach a saturation of Barbara. Liked her style of writing...personal...like a converation. Enjoyed reliving some of the moments.

The reading was slow at the beginning but became much more interesting as details brought events togethers. Since I do not have a medical background I found myself skimming over some of the graphic surgical scenes because I did not understand the jargon.

Not a bookclub book; however, did lead to discussion of witchcraft and value of women by men and society.

It was light reading but the author could have done a much better job writing. There were glimpses of interesting pages but she would soon follow a path of marketing that is cliche when it was time to build a plot or character.

An easy read, brilliantly written story of a family and each member's depth of moral values which were rooted in the religious and social structure of that time and their affect upon the direction of each one's life journey as well as the development of the family as one unit.
