The main character, Freddy, is extremely well deveoped. I couldn't help but root for him and worry about him. I found myself laughing out loud at times and grabbing for a tissue other times.

I am not a reader but my friend insisted I read this book. I am so happy I did. I could not put it down once I started reading it. Coming from a large Italian family, I could relate to the family dinners, Thanksgivings and Christmases. Brought back so many memories. I purchased a book for my daughter-in-law Yolanda and will give it to her for Christmas. 😊
