This book was awesome!! My best friend lent me her book and urged me to read it. I couldn't put it down until I was done. I'm going to go buy several copies of the book to share with other friends and family.

Success
The bonds created at birth by a mother and a daughter, are exceptionally rare, and Sue Monk Kidd has done an amazing job at showing that even the daughter of a mother she barely knew, can create even the strongest love and the most willing power to succeed in what she puts her mind to.
