This book is going to make you think about your life, no doubt about it. 
 I really like the group of characters, especially "Young" Alice, I could really identify with her. I like how we see things from 3 different perspectives (Alice, Elizabeth's diary and Frannie's letters), because there is so much things that some times the family doesn't know but one person knows, it helps make sense of it all, especially for all the memories Alice forgot. 
 In the end, everything fell nicely into place the way I anticipated, no big surprise here, but still nice.
