A word to the wise. Finish this book in a quiet private place and give your self enough time for a good cleansing cry after. Young William is no match for the gregarious Padavano family. Where his family scowls at him with crossed arms theirs are open, where his family shares nothing theirs share all -good and bad and where his is solitary and quiet theirs is a loud but loving family of four sisters. William is enveloped into the fold and while he will have a deeper relationship with two of the sisters, the others are always there to influence him in some way. Suffering from severe depression William will sever ties as will a couple of the sisters and their mom. This story chronicles the ebb and flow of family joy and sorrow, the growth and loss over time. Heartbreaking and painfully honest, this is an intense and deeply rooted family drama that will stay in your head and heart for some time. Readers of her previous book DEAR EDWARD, Ann Pratchett, Fredrik Backman and Pat Conroy will find much to love. 5 stars
