This is a beautiful tribute to a lost child, written in such a way that the reader is transported into the hospital and suffers the devastation and despair with the family.Interspersed with descriptions of the days of waiting and hoping, when Noelle's life is literally in limbo, Peluso shares many intimate moments in the Peluso's lives, which are like many other lives - rich with love and laughter. From the time teenagers Micki and Butch first elope, the story of how their journey together unfolds makes for very entertaining reading, with the normal ups and downs of life and some wild and crazy decisions.We learn so much about the character of each of their six children that we almost feel we know them.Make sure you have the tissues handy when you read this beautiful story about one family's life and their shattering tragedy.When I finished the book, The beautiful Abba song came into my head - "I believe in angels. When I know the time is right for me, I'll cross the stream - I have a dream."
