I've been Wreckered. Picked up by this book and not let down. It's beautiful. Wonderful. About a chosen family and love. It will break your heart and then heal it. 

 It's beautiful. It deserves attention.(Even Kirkus likes it.) 

Summer took my marketing class a few years ago and it turned out we had the same agent and so I expected to like the book but I didn't. I loved it.

It's truly as Meredith Hall says  - remarkable.  The rest of what she said is better than what I can say.

“Summer Wood’s remarkable novel carves its way, sentence by gorgeous sentence, into the great complexity of love and family and community.  Her dialogue is so natural and full we feel as though we are illicitly eavesdropping on these complex, flawed, and full-hearted characters.  Wrecker is a tender, stunning novel.” — Meredith Hall, author of Without a Map

 

 And then there is what Pam Houston said:

 “This novel is a love song to well intentioned, wholly dedicated, and deeply flawed motherhood.  Summer Wood creates more than just a great story, deftly, elegantly, and intricately told.  She broadens both our notion of family, and our appreciation for whatever we call our own.  Wrecker is a big-hearted, big-loving compassionate book.”   — Pam Houston, author of Cowboys Are My Weakness
