review 1: Mallory is a school nurse, former social worker, and street person. Her mother was mentally ill, and dragged her from town to town, until she was 12 years old. She has tried to fit into a life in a small town, in a lovely neighborhood, but she holds herself back from her neighbors. Polly is a young girl, who is suffering from the death of her mother. She doesn't want people to ask how she is doing. She wants people to treat her normally. She makes friends with Mallory, who lives next door to her, as well as being her school nurse. We learn of Mallory's story throughout the book. Mallory volunteers at homeless shelters in Atlanta, as she continues to search for her mother. She feel a better fit, with the homeless. The book deals with the pain and the healing of Ma... morellory, Polly, and her dad, Pete.
review 2: This was my first book ever by this Author, but it won't be my last!! I previously had read a few less than 4 star reviews before I started to read this book, so I was concerned whether I would enjoy it or not. Fortunately, I never let reviews stop me from reading :) I must say, those sad reviews were way off base & must have been made by some sad people who see their 'glasses half empty' instead of "half full" :o ... The writing is so magnificent you won't want to put it down! You will cheer for the main character Mallory as she takes each step towards healing! Feeling Mal's brokenness interfere with her struggles to get past her sad childhood actually brought tears to my eyes! But I know you will be as inspired as I was, as she helps others who will ultimately help her in the end! Thank God there is a happy ending :) less
