I was dissapointed in this book. It had so much promise and it has such good bone structure. The characters were just shy of being three diminensional. The main character, she is mad at her sister and never quite says anything or gets into it with her. She has these children, but it is like she is observing them growing up. The story was just shy of being what it was trying to be. I read the entire thing, waiting for it to grab me and it never did.
