This is a wonderful book. The author displayed each character with a specific style of class. Each character in this book has his and her own story to tell without taking away from the story itself. I truly enjoyed the book and the movie for it moved my heart and made me appreciate the good and the not so good things in my life. We all go through struggles in or life. Sometimes we learn and grow from them and sometimes we find it hard to do either. But when you feel like you've had all you can take, you realize you need to start giving back. Read the book and or watch the movie. You'll be glad you did.
