I thought this book had too much information that didn`t mean much and not enough explanation at one time to explain enough. It was too long for the storyit told. I didn`t really like any of the characters but if I had to pick one it would be Cass because she was believable. Jo seemed to lack substace and even at the end of the book I still didn`t know her husband.My favorite parts of the book are her get right to the heart of it descriptions of people and situations such as, Know this about me and yet LOVE ME----PLEASE or on page 154 where her grown children realize their mom had a past life that didn`t include them. Your children never think of you in any other way than mom or dad and especially mom. Other than those few really great descriptions I just thought this book lacked depth and so did it`s character.
