Review written for ClubReading.com by Linda
Two sisters, very young children, whose parents die, end up with elderly relatives. The relatives, two aunts, love them, but don’t know how to show it. The children spend the rest of their lives trying to avoid the pain loving causes, until they realize the joys loving brings.
Gillian, bright and popular, believes that she has to leave every relationship first. Sally, lovely and more responsible, believes that she must see only to her children and her life. It is with great joy that we discover that the sisters can learn to love again, and that the power of love can overcome all obstacles.
This book gives one of the most important things a book can: it gives hope. Hope that life really can turn out; hope that as bad as things seem, they will get better. And most of all, hope for love.
