This book is one of my most recommended books to friends, so when the movie was about to come out on Lifetime, I decided it was time for another reread, because I find that while I always remember I love it, the details get fuzzy. 
 It continues to be one of my favorite books. I love the story of her relationship with her mothers and i tend to think of this as a book about families and religion. I forget how touching the love stories are.
