NOTE: I read this book via emails sent by the author had it been spent all at once I'd have devoured it in one sitting.There aren't many books that make me cry, this one made me cry twice, first during Chapter One and then again in Chapter Thirty. I'm not gonna lie I'm sobbed quietly and uncontrollably for quite a while to the point where the words were blurry. It just brought back so many memories that I thought I was over, I mean it has been twenty plus years since I watched my grandmother die of cancer but reading this book made it seem like yesterday; hearing her cry out in pain, watching her lose her hair and weight, seeing the pack/bag she moved around with that drained the fluid from her lungs. I just want to reiterate that the book didn't contain these elements it just brought these memories to the surface.In between the gut-wrenching and heart-rending cries I fell in love with both of the main characters. I think at one point my womb hopped out and ran off to be impregnated by Ian Kerr, why wouldn't it the guy is a swoon-worthy. I loved Tiny's strength no matter the obstacles in her way she found a way to survive and provide for her mom and herself. I really admired that and can't wait for more Kerr chronicles.
