Should be labeled Young Adult
This book's story, characters, and outcomes are sadly shallow, outdated cliches. Parts of it resemble morality plays from the 15th and 16th centuries. One character even says tsk, tsk which hasn't been said recently in the 20th century. There are no wonderful ideas, nor thought provoking phraseology. It is flat and not memorable in the least. Good news - you can get through it quickly.

Tedious book limps to sorry conclusion.
This book is boring. It is difficult to care about the main character. While I cannot stand that her husband refers to her as "little one" he does have a reasonable expectation that they might enjoy their retirement years doing whatever things they want together. But no, she has to go and adopt a family that isn't hers, so she can become a pseudo-grandmother. Oh please.....
