First off, I said that I would recommend the book for clubs, based largely on the fact that our group had a great discussion about it. However, I was very disappointed in the book itself. It wasn't particularly well written, which I could have been okay with if it had other redeeming qualities. I wanted to get to the end and feel encouraged and inspired. I wanted to see some sort of transformation in Carolyn and Sean Savage - some evidence of personal growth or enlightenment on their parts, but I never got that. What was the point of telling the story if the only thing to be gleaned from it is "we had a bad thing happen to us"? Most of us have had bad things happen to us; the real story is our reaction.
