Has anyone read this yet? My sister asked if I had read it or heard anything about it and I hadn't. I put it on hold at the library.

No, I haven't read it but I'm curious since I'm a mom to 2 girls. Please post your reveiw after you read it.

I saw that book and interested in it, too, since I have one dd. How is it so far?

I am enjoying it. I've got a seven day book that I got in the meantime that I need to finish then I'll get back to this one.

I finished this the other day. A very good story (could have done without the 2 or 3 explicit sex scenes).
A mother dies and leaves behind her loving second husband, a 16 year daughter from him and three other grown daughters from a previous marriage. She also leaves behind a journal written to her daughters and a personal letter to each of them. The story develops as each reads their letter and from the journal and as they move on with their lives. At first it seems as though everything is unraveling without the maternal presence, especially as secrets are revealed. Simple love prevails, however. I won't spoil any more of it for you. It is set in England, written by a British author, so there are some references that went over my head (that's when I turn to Google).
Hope you enjoy reading it. It was not reflective of any specifics of my family relationships other than the fact that four daughters (I have 3 sisters and no brothers) can be raised by the same mother and still be VERY different individuals when they reach adulthood.
