I liked what you focoused on, that was a great aspect of the book..mainly the need of forgiveness, but also of forgiving yourself!<BR/><BR/>ramya- Yah, don't. I haven't read little women, but I know that if anyone loves that this would rock the boat a little too hard. <BR/><BR/>I know exactly what you mean, it is silly....it is like life was too happy, let's ruin it all!<BR/><BR/>veens-haha, yeah.
