This was an excellent book. I'd have to call this my favorite of Tracie's so far. Even though I cried, I fell in love with these sisters and their family, and their strengths even though they thought they were weak. I would definitely read this one again. At first, I thought it was a little hoakie to name the daughters alphabetically (Ashley, Brook, Connie, Dierdre, and Erica), but then I understood how things were with their mother, and it made more sense, it wasn't just the author being silly to help us keep them in order. This is a standalone novel, not part of a series.
