Lots of tears were shed reading this.

I loved the book because there was great love and great loss, good memories and bad ones too. Life isn't set in stone so enjoy what you have while you have it.

I had trouble doing anything else but reading the last chapters of this book... All while dealing with tears in my eyes.  What a great story!

Have your box of tissues ready.  This is a sad story of one young boy who needs a liver transplant and the problems and obstacles both he and his parents face.  When nine year Ethan is diagnosed, his mother Delanie is overwhelmed and is soon also dealing with a distracted husband, a mound of bills, overbearing mother-in-law and more.  She does have a tight knit group of friends whom she can lay her burden on. But as time is dwindling, one wonders if Ethan will survive?  Like I mentioned, this one is a tearjerker and emotional.  As the reader, I can feel her pain and frustrations with doctors and social workers.  I received an ARC from the author and do recommend this book.

I could not quit crying as I read this beautiful book.  My husband and I our waiting for our child to come to us.  It expressed the love that adoptive parents feel, that complete love that is overwhelming.  This will be the first book I will read to our child.

Our spirits can only bear so much, it was very difficult to read how Atticus became such a monster. For the love of Aria & Braith, read this. You will need a box of tissues to do it, but it's beautifully written and well worth the tears.

I had been warned this book would make me cry, but I had no idea.
I had no idea I would weep buckets through the last twenty pages.
I don't want to spoil anything, but I would highly recommend this book to anyone who's suffered through PPD, or who has considered fostering a child.
Hell, I'd recommend this book to absolutely anybody.

I'm am sitting here writing this through tears. Not just tears, I'm pretty much bawling. The emotional connection and power in these few pages is amazing. Definitely read this but have tissues nearby.

It was so unbelievably sad and happy. Poor little boys treated so poorly by their protectors. It is worthy of reading many times.

Let me tell you, I cried through this entire book.  This is not a normal occurrence for me.  I have a little boy, and the heartache and joy experienced by this family over their son is heart-wrenching.  I could not put this book down.  I purchased "Heaven Is For Real" on my Kindle.  The moment I was finished I handed it to my husband and told him he had to read it.  He read it in two days; normally it would have taken him two weeks.  It was very easy reading, and very well written with no wasted words.  I finished the book full of joy, anticipating heaven as I never have before in my life.  My husband and I want to buy a few copies for several of our friends.

Ouch!  Many pages now have tearstains as this book really hits home to a child who lived through it but now has hope for the future

There were so many emotions touched upon in this story. Most of all it illustrates the importance of tolerance we need to give others and get from them as well.

I knew I was going to cry reading this! I cried the last two chapters of the Viscount and the  Vixen ! But I had to read George's story and I wasn't sorry it was beautiful but sad and I enjoyed it thank you for a lovely story!

It had me in tears.  You can imagine my 7-year old was quite amazed at the sight...  The author manages to put so much feeling into very simple sentences.  It makes it very easy for young (and old) to understand how important each family member is to the whole family, especially when there are special needs.

This book was one of the most heartbreaking reads I have ever read. The tragedy of losing the love of your life was conveyed so well I could easily imagine being in Liz's position. The pain and loneliness, the hardship of suddenly becoming a single mother of four, the struggle through the stages of grief... were all so beautifully and realistically written, that I was totally immersed into her world. There were times while reading this that I had to step away, to catch my breath and wipe my eyes, but not for long because the pull back into the story was too strong.

While this was such an emotionally draining and powerfully sad read, there were some laugh out loud moments and strong messages of hope, too. This book also introduced me to one of the most patient and kind male characters I've ever read - Ben was amazing!

I'm adding this one to my favorites shelf. Cannot recommend it enough - though be warned you need to prepare yourself for this one, it cannot be taken lightly and you will need tissues, lots and lots of tissues.

Yes, I cried while reading (and afterwards). What I took from this beautifully written story is this: Marriage is hardwork and not always fun but the rewards outweigh all the negatives. Love who you love and love them HARD because you never know when it'll be the last goodbye or the last I love you. Embrace the stumbles along the way for without those you wouldn't be able to truly appreciate the blessings coming your way. And most of all be HAPPY!! Don't let your past cast a shadow on your future.
Rhonda, I patiently await your next masterpiece  (impatiently is more accurate, lol)

As a mother, this is painful to read, but  also so very important.  I learned some things from it, I mourned Sue's loss as well as the loss of the other children and teacher, I came away saddened and also shocked.  She is able to articulate what she went through so well, mothers everywhere will relate to her feelings (especially mothers of teens.)
How courageous she is to tell her story.  There are no words for this kind of tragedy, it's too big.  But I thank Sue for being so brutally honest and raw so that perhaps one other mother/parent recognizes her child's call for help before it's too late.

I enjoyed reading this a lot. Finished it within a day and it's brought many emotions to the surface. Eliza Andrews did a wonderful job with bringing out the pain and loss from Alex and Graham. The struggles the each went through and how they dealt with it. The chemistry between them was heartfelt; it makes you want to root for them and pray that everything will work out and they'll have their happily ever after.
