Moreover, it could have fatal consequences for more than one surprise has followed Rebecca from Latvia.Woodson has given us very human, sympathetic characters in Rhys and Rebecca. They are good people struggling with grief, loss, and circumstances beyond their control. The way they deal with the situation in which they find themselves feels very real. Woodson is masterful in the way she allows the reader to see what her characters see and feel what her characters feel. Brava, Ms. Woodson!The author provided a copy of the book for review purposes.
