I loved this novel!! Each character is vividly written. I felt like I was visiting Paradise and the people who live on the cul-de-sac. I couldn't put this book down. I wanted to get to the end yet I didn't want the story to end. I laughed and I cried. I could picture every detail in these people's life. I loved the last chapter, I feel so much closer to my own family who have passed on after reading this book. I hope that Carla Mae will continue her writing and I will be the first in line to purchase it. Way to go Carla!
