THIS NOVEL WAS SAD AND TOUCHING. IT IS ABOUT A YOUNG WOMEN WHO GETS MARRIED AND DOESNT FIND HERSELF REALLY UNTIL AFTER SHE HAS A CHILD OF HER OWN, WHEN SHE FINALLY UNDERSTANDS WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT. IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN HAVE SOME TISSUES HANDY.

honest to the core
This is an excellent depiction into the lives of young married mothers. This book can't be put down. The ending left me hanging, but over all it tells a tale of finding yourself after marraige and child birth.
