A Wild Ride Up the Cupboards

It's been a while since I started and finished a book in the same day. I picked this up at the library last weekend and this afternoon at lunch I read the first 5 pages or so. (I take a quick lunch.) Then I picked it up after dinner and couldn't stop reading until I finished tonight.

This story covers family history and how it intertwines and affects things, the fierce love of a mother, the difficulties and joys of a "different" child, the evolution of a marriage, and many other relationships. It is written so honestly, in such a raw and bare manner, that it is truly beautiful. It is brutally honest, exposing what I think must be true to life emotions.

You can click on the book image and go read the publisher's summary, which is as good as anything I could write. Just believe it--it is a fantastic book, well worth your time.
