I can't speak enough about the amazing dynamics presented in this book. As much as I hate it when books include every social issue in their books, Robin Benway was able to do it seamlessly, where not an ounce of preach was to be detected. I was impressed by the relationships of the three siblings who suddenly came together after going in separate directions, either by adoption or foster care. I loved the fact that the foster care system was not put in a negative light nor a positive light, but rather it was about the people who participated. I loved that the rich vs poor lifestyles were fleshed out with realistic views. And I cried. I actually had wetness coming from my eyes and I wasn't sure what to do with that. But I figure it's a good sign.
