A story of hidden strength, family secrets, and fierce & unwavering devotion, GWWG is a lovely story about how families handle the curveballs that life throws, and how that can change over time & generations. It really covers a lot of ground in examining what strength looks like in different situations and does a good job of showing that the same approach is not universally applicable. The quirky & stubborn Kopf women are a delight. 

I also really enjoy that the reader sounds a lot like Betty White in her Golden Girls days.
