      Elizabeth s second book, which she considers better than the first I have to admit I didn t like it as much as the first This is a character examination sort of book, but I felt that getting to know so many characters so intimately interfered with the plot and I found it distracting.

      Excellent novel about the women and visiting a nonprofit women s clinic serving a predominantly Hispanic, immigrant clientele The author is a nurse midwife and the mother of four children How she finds time to write simply baffles me

      A little too heavy on feelings and a predictable ending, butsome of the sore points are altogether too true.
