This was a have to read book because it was our book club selection for the month of January, so I purchased the book and put it in my bedroom bookcase where it sat for months. With one week to go before the discussion, I thought I had better read that book. I started it on Sunday night and finished it a couple of hours later. Wow, what insight, what imagination. This isn't the heaven that I hope for but it's a heaven to make you think. I have sat and pondered who would be my 5 people and of course cannot even think of who they might be. This is well worth your read....its a fast read but I found myself the next day going over some of the chapters to better understand all its meaning. Tonight is our discussion group and I am excited to hear what is said.

I had this book recomended to me by a family member and hoped I would like it. I found it to some of the most predictable drivel I have ever read. A great disapointment from beginning to end.

What an amazing book! It really makes you think about who your five people might be and what impact you've had on others. A recommended read.

The story of an American family, middle class in middle America, ordinary in every way but one. But that exception is the beating heart of this extraordinary novel.
First time novelist Vaddey Ratner captured my heart and senses in this novel based on her childhood in Cambodia. Her story transcends any news story...
