Funny and poignant ... an engaging read

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has poignant moments as the mother and son reveal in alternating chapters the hole left in their lives and their family's life by the departure of the father. It also has moments so funny that I laughed out loud. Yes it's predictable as the Kirkus review said ... but the journey is so engaging that I forgot to care about that.

Excellent!

A damn fine follow-up to her first book. Any reading list that includes Anne Tyler, and Alice Hoffman must, if there is any justice in the world, include Shelly Fraser-Mickle.
