review 1: I wish I could give half stars here. I enjoyed the book, but I wouldn't say it was great. It is tragic and true, so it is kind of like the car wreck- you have to find out more. That's why we look, right? With the title, I expected more discussion of what the effects of being a "replacement child" were on her. I feel like the story is really more of a retelling of the accident after many years of research.
review 2: I would recommend this book even if one of my dearest friends wasn't the author. It is the true story of a unique family drama which unfolded after a plane crashed on their home, killing one sister and burning another tragically. Judy is a wonderful writer and brings her family's story to life. It is a touching story and brings to light new though... morets and ideas about family emotions and the birth of another child after losing a child. Enlarging a family should not be considered replacing a child; it brings new love and joy to a family. If the child was of a different sex from the deceased child, I think this concept would never raise its head. less
