Review: I can't stop thinking about this book
Rating: 5 out of 5

It's been over a week since I read this collection of short stories and the characters are still with me.These are stories about real people, real children, teenagers, adults, in real times. I went through a whole range of emotions when I read them, some good, some not so good. When the child was sitting on the stairs listening to her parents, I was right there with her. When the adult was sitting by the lake contemplating what happened years before and looking at her present day life, I was sitting across from her, doing the same thing. I can't remember a book, let alone a collection of short stories, where I could identify so heavily with the emotions and feelings of the characters.As far as I'm concerned, this is what good writing, and a good book, should do for you. Yes, it entertained for sure, but it made me think and remember.If you enjoy quality writing and a book that will make you think about where you've been and where you're going read The Meaning Of Children.Highly recommended.
