I found this story exceedingly stressful to read yet somehow irresistible. As a wife and parent of young kids the conflicts hit a little too close to home to make it a pleasurable read in the way something like a murder mystery is, but I still was sucked into the suspense of it all and finished it pretty quickly.

Wow. Had me on the verge of tears in the middle of the public library thinking about my especially spirited toddler. Such a beautiful book and perspective. As good for parents as it is for kids.
