I am glad I read it.<br /><br /><b>Stephanie</b> - I hope you will enjoy it, Stephanie! I like the occasional hanging ending too. Sometimes it works better for books, particularly reality based ones. I look forward to reading your thoughts on this one.<br /><br /><b>Staci</b> - If you do read it, Staci, I hope you will enjoy it!<br /><br /><b>Linda</b> - It does say a lot when a book can make a person cry! I'm not sure I'm the one to judge by though, given how often I cry while reading. Especially lately. LOL<br /><br /><b>Heather J</b> - Thanks for giving me the opportunity!
