"LIFE - YOU LIVE IT FORWARD, BUT UNDERSTAND IT BACKWARD." Yes, absolutely, a five star book. I too struggled to get through this tome, but is was so fabulous! Helps if you have some interest in the medical field. But I have such a…

Enjoyed the reader and the book! Story of conjoined twin boys, cut apart at birth, the mother dying right after, the father/surgeon instantly leaving the country, and the two doctors who saved them during the birth raising them.

This was a very long book. Since I listened to it on CD I was able to really enjoy the journey of the characters. It was well written and so vividly described. Loved it.

This sensitive author skillfully weaves medical trauma and drama into a narrative of family relationships and loss against a backdrop of life in an Ethiopian medical mission. If you can, listen to the book on CD, if only to experience the…

This was a long-awaited book with my being on the hold list for months. I am typically a little let down whenever I find myself in such anticipation of a highly desired book. I was however, captivated by the characters and the exposure…
