This was a good piece of women's literature. It explored the relationship of two workers who bond with the same pair of patients in a Nursing Home. You also get to hear about the lives of each character, which relates to what each person brings to the table. It was written in the style that allows one character's point of view to be highlighted each chapter. It had a feel for me similar to that of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. This is really a 3.5 stars for me. It started off as a 3 star for me because I didn't like how spazzy the chapters were. They kept jumping characters and time so much that it seemed to have no natural progression of story to me. Just constant jumping like someone constantly changing the radio station. Once I was getting towards the middle to end of the book, it was more 4 star material to me. There were these glimpses in these womens lives that made you just sit there in a moment of awe at the depth of those moments, good and bad. Such as when Aprils mother stated why she named her April. It was so touching. And when we it is fully revealed the true nature of Bernice's obsession with her Mr. Benny. I already had my suspicions but it was later confirmed and it hit me square in the heart when it was. Good read though it had an okay beginning to me.
A little slow starting, but it is a sweet story about women taking care of each other.
