Awesome! I have it, I have read it and I am anxious to see what other people's perspective is on it.

I've read it and i think i remember most of it, so i will try to join in the discussion when i can.

I just got my copy of this book.....already I can't put it down. Very intriguing just the first chapter!!

Wow, and I have to tell you that I am taking on a whole different perspective reading this....I am the other side....my mom was 19 and pregnant with me, and my Dad married her.....eventually divorced, after us kids were grown....but I was born in 1972 so I could have very easily been one of these girls.....very intesting....Thank you for suggesting this book, Claire!!
