Notes et avis

Very emotional. Heartfelt movie that shows that the death of a sibling cause practically as much pain for the other Siblings, as it does for the parents. I've seen this happen in my own situation.

I can't wait to read it. It sounds an very interesting. Have he written any more other books or just that last one? And where was he birn from?

It's a wonderful movie of compassion and love. It's real life and that's what makes it so great!
