if the issue of retarded nurture touches you. Otherwise, rather maudlin. Characters go beyond comprehension in their idealized qualities. The Man/husband comes off as the weaker vessel (yawn) and the mother's exceptioanlism is....idealized. IF the issue tyouvhes you, then read. Otherwise, just another Oprah-recommended, ain't women strong cardboard cut-out.
