I have been waiting for this book for a while, as I've read all of the books in this series. The story was beautiful, however, the preview on the back of the book was not accuate. The majority of the book focused on the story of Julian, Sr. (and Aunt Ruth), which is ok - I just was not prepared for that. The story of Julian, Jr. (and Maya) was not long enough in my opinion. It seemed rushed after experiencing the first story. All in all it was a good read, but only 4 stars based on my comments above.
