“I sit in blessed silence, and I remember. I try to make order, make sense, make meaning of the jumble of it all.” 

“One minute there was a God with the whole world in his hands; the next minute the world was plummeting, ceaselessly, toward an ever-shifting bottom.”

A lot of heavy topIcs were very metculously and wholeheartedly discussed. Each member of this family was grappling with ther own struggles. I love that the ending also gave the reader a lot to think about regarding their own relationship with God/religion. I could feel the grief through the pages and found myself sympathising with each of them. The one qualm I have is the fact there was no separation between the present and the flashbacks.
