OMG..This book is amazing. I've never cried soooo much. The authors description of the details is like a movie scene. I envisioned every detail of the story. This is the best book that I've ever read. When you read this book, I highly recommend that you purchase a box or two of kleenex. I felt as if I was on an emotional roller coaster. Bravo Mr. Norman this is now my favorite book..

I really enjoyed this book. It flowed really well.I had ordered the paperback a few months back but never got around to reading it because I am on the go a lot. Once I started the book, I did not stop until I was finished.The book really held my attention.
Without giving too much away.The book is about a family with 6 children and one of them is born with darker skin than the rest and therefore he is treated different by his grandma and one of his aunts. It was really sad how this boy was treated and I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.
