I really enjoyed this book.  It is well written & the story kept me interested.  The author takes the reader into the broken lives of Ben, an unassuming painting artist, Smoof, a precocious 10 years old little girl, & Rose, a first grade teacher with a turbulent past.  Their connection & interaction brings healing & closure to their various life's wounds.  Very touching story.
