review 1: This is going to be a hard book to give you a true sense of, absolutely nothing should be given away before you read it. There is so much to this story of the life of three generations of a family. Trust me, if you like real life drama, this one is for you. I will say that it is one of the most poignant stories of surviving life with an alcoholic husband/father/grandfather that I have ever read. If you have ever lived around alcoholism in your family, you are going to see yourself in the pages of this book. There are the most heart-wrenching events imaginable, and there is amazing redemption, but this is not at all a stereotyped happily ever after story. What it IS is real.Bravo Jennifer Lesher!
review 2: I am giving this 5 stars, because, even though the e... morending was up-in-the-air, it kept my interest so much I read it in about 24 hours. The beginning was a little difficult because it went so far back and the title was 'raising JOHN' and it took a while for John to become prominent in the book. But it still intrigued me so I kept going. Then it all fits together....John's mother and his grandparents and how they all arrived at the point where John became an orphan. And then growing up with the questions that were too difficult to answer less
