My sister gave me" The Saving Graces" to read, and I must say that it is the best book I have ever read. I really felt like I was part of the group. I laughed, I cried, and I completely related to everyone in the book. I say give Patricia Gaffney a 10 star rating so to speak cause she completely deserves it. Thank for reminding me about the "Emma" in me, I forgot she was there.

Perfect book for your summer vacation...or your sunny backyard.. My 26 year old daughter gave it to me, and I am passsing it on to my mother!!

Kimberly Well, I just wanted to say that I'm not really a bookworm, I don't read a lot, I got this book a few weeks ago and haven't been able to put it down! Women at work that have read it have commented on it. It is really good. I've laughed and cried reading it, it makes you feel like you're experiencing it with these women and you know them as they were your friends! It reminds me of myself and my circle of best friends. I especially like Emma. I will definitely read another P. Gaffney book!!
