Review: "Go. For the love of God, just take the mission."

I was a little thrown off at first by all the references to "Wizard of Oz" characters at the beginning, but storyline was superb as protagonist must wrestle with the decision to go on one last mission or comfort her dying spouse. Book does an excellent job of balancing humorous passages like "If you were the public, I'd have you spinning so fast you'd generate your own gravity" & "Arthritis is not something I approve of" balanced with more sober passages like "I couldn't sleep with him anymore, for fear of breaking him" & "Every time I had to change the diaper, he stared at the wall with his face slack and hopeless." Book gets my hardiest recommendation and am going to go looking for more works from this author for sure!
