This was a pleasant if predictable story of mother and daughter faced with a daunting new challenge in their lives, and how they work through it. I just wish that more emphasis had been placed on them working together towards a common goal - dealing with diabetes - than for the mother to have turned in so many directions, including - of course - to a man. I think the mother-daughter dynamic had untapped potential and that the romantic relationship was unnecessary and a detractor from the story.Kudos to the author for giving us characters we care about and for handling such an important issue so well. I liked that she included reactions to the news as an additional hurdle for the family to deal with, as those have a real impact on many lives.
