Query: A beautiful story about a mother's love for her child

I picked up this book after I read a great review of it in People magazine. I knew it would be a good read, but I didn't expect to fall in love with the characters the way I did. Patty, the main character, is brave and real and truly inspiring for all of us single mothers. She will do anything for Willie, even "shout down the moon" to keep him safe. Their relationship is tender and beautiful while still being realistic--quite an accomplishment. Lisa Tucker knows how to write children that act like children, not as mouthpieces for things the author couldn't make the story say.Now I'm off to go read Tucker's first novel, The Song Reader. If it's even half as good as this one, I've found a new writer for my favorite list.
