This book had a lot of potential but fell short. Too many themes that were underdeveloped!

We have been striking out as a book club lately and we decided this book kept our interest. We felt like it lacked a "high" point and at times seemed somewhat unbelievable but overall was an easy, enjoyable read.

poor ending but great sujbect for discussion

quick read,interesting topic

This really is a provocative book about how when we lies for love we can destroy instead of help. If you like Jodi Picoult I think you'll love Delinsky.

Delinsky really gives a reading group something to talk about here--just how far would you go to save your child trouble? What if the trouble in question was a consequence that normally you'd say perhaps the child deserved but that at this particular moment you felt an overwhelming need to spare him or her? Does it ever work out? Can you ever really re-write the past? Even just a little bit?

I liked the book but it was alittle slow & it took me awhile to get to the end. I dont think i would read it again!
