Really heartwarming, even coming from a different background I found the three main characters and their stories relatable.

Wow. There was never a time in this book where I felt like there was unnecessary fluff or poor pacing. Every character is EXTREMELY well-written and realistic. I'm impressed that both generations held my attention, which is something I've learned to be wary of in multi-generational family sagas. Made me cry several times. I can't write any more as it's truly a story you have to experience yourself.
