Shine Shine Shine: A Novel
by Lydia Netzer
Shine, Shine, Shine by Lydia Netzer (6/14/2012)
It took me quite a few pages to 'connect' with the characters in this book....the astronaut husband, the bald pregnant wife and their autistic son and also the dying mother BUT after I became involved it became an interesting and unique read.

I do think the author tried to include too many life-changing events. I also do not know who to recommend this book to as I think it will be one of those books that you either love or hate.
