Shirley Lyles former Mason Texas Librarian and San Angelo Standard Times Newspaper columnist.Once I got to know the characters I found I couldnt put it down. Its a pretty accurate depiction of what happens when your parent becomes your child. It is something none of us can prepare for. For a person like Deb who has never had children it can be overwhelming. Ms. Head adeptly fleshes out her disparate characters makes you fall in love with them root for them cry with them and takes you on a journey that is profound. It is at times painful funny and completely fascinating. It begs a sequel. I cannot wait to read it. K. Michiel Cavuoti Registered Nurse
