I loved this book and found it easy to relate to, especially as my background is similar to Kate’s. My mother raised me as a single parent, our ancestors are from Ireland and my mother, too, is a seamstress who has cancer. Consequently, this book helped to bring both memories and emotions to the surface, which was very cathartic. One of the things that I particularly enjoyed about this book was that, as in real life, there was no nice tidy little ending; rather, the ending was simple and open, with complex feelings woven in. Very good! I highly recommend it.
