Eira brings in another notion to womanhood and motherhood as she gets this new truth brings her revalation.
It is a beautiful story of family bonds, what a single parents goes through, fame's side effects, winning over ones own inner demons, letting go, parent child bonding and at all understanding what really matters in life.
I liked the characters and their step by step development.
It is a nice story that proves to a fresh read with its heart warming storyline and captivating narration.
