Review:

"Those We Love Most" by Lee Woodruff was really a powerful read.  This was a read of tragedy not just for one family but a extended family.  This was a very realistic read that could happen to any of us...a death of a child.  Yes, this novel will be of 'loss, grief, love and two families who are really suffering from it all.  We find the mother had been having a affair, while the father was a alcoholic....and the grandfather who was having a affair with the grandma seemed to just take it in as a martyr...What a group of people...Will there be any change?  This author did a wonderful job with his detailed dialogue showing much compassion. Who knew that this child's death(James) would charge everything for this family.. breaking them apart but putting them back together again?  I found the characters  all interesting in that even at the end I am not sure there would be a change for  Maura, Roger, Roger,Margaret ...or Julia.   Kinda leaves you wondering long after the read. 


Did I find "Those We Love Most" a page turner?...Yes...it was a dramatic experience to read.  Would I recommend....YES!
