A wonderful expansive story of love, laughter and loyalty found in families.
When family members start to share memories with each other, a sends of freedom and relief fills their hearts. They realize revenge is toxic,, forgiveness is healing and truth brings freedom- all very valuable lessons for the reader as well.
This is a delightful read for everyone!

This is a book worthy of a whole weekend. I wish I would have done that--schedule nothing but me, this book, a blanket, endless spruced-up coffee, relaxing in a recliner to read Toni K's. story.

This is a long book with so many subplots, and you don't want to rush it. It will take you from laughing about Toni's mother who names dinner specials at their restaurant after what is going on in her family (or what she interprets to be going on!) The mother is vivacious, loving, and funny.

Then on the other side of the emotional read is the traumatic flashbacks to their live in the early 1980's in Moscow. Not to mention the secrets behind Toni's brother.

The author delves into so many heartfelt situations that show this group of strong sisters (who can sense what is happening to each other through their widows peak!) along with their family and friends, as they stick by each other, support each other, and persevere in some pretty tough situations.

A great, emotional read!
