I love the concept of the book. About family, the hardships that they faced, the loyalty between the siblings, their mother and father's story and how sad it is. Also it involves the family's history where it all started and how the name Riva became famous or how they became well known.

 This made me hopeful about the struggles that the Riva Family were dealing with, wanting them to be able to help each other out and coming up with possible solutions to the problem that they were facing. Nina being the rock of the family. How caring and loving she is! The sacrifices that she made for Hud, Jay and Kit. This was such a emotional ride and I can't help but be proud of how they managed to be strong no matter what had happened.
