This was a book that most women could relate to, even the few that didn't like it were engaged in the conversation. It stimulated great conversation. It shows several charactors not "giving up on thier dreams" but accepting that sometimes your dreams change to better things. The author wisely suggested God's hand in shaping our lives and our need to trust what He is doing with our "plans" without being preachy. Down to earth and realistic. Made us all laugh and cry.
