Hi there. I saw this movie. It was a great flick. I am reading the book now. It is even better. And yes Ashley Judd always can make a movie better...

I work 32 miles from my home, so I listen to a LOT of audio books. Unfortunately, they are often abridged versions, but I really enjoy making use of all that time I spend in the car. I listened to YaYa and went straight out and bought the book. It was wonderful. Haven't seen the movie yet. I already have pictures formed in my head, and dread the possibility that the movie will let me down. Thanks for the thumbs up. Maybe I won't be disappointed.---OMIE

I am glad you enjoyed the movie, I havent seen it yet. I read the book and it was like reading about my childhood and my mother. So I am a little afraid to see the movie, the book even brought back memories that I had filed away. I had to put the book down several times to have a bawling fit. The book is a great read and I too found it to be healing , painful in some parts , but some issues have to be faced, you know? I am from Louisiana , the author of the book is also from Louisiana and it is very accurtate on the way things are here. Like the smell of the flowers and trees, the sounds of the crickets at nite, and the heat!!!! LOL
I do plan on seeing the movie, but my sister and I think we will wait for the DVD to come out so we can watch it at home and have a good sister to sister cry feast. I cry very easily at movies about mothers and daughters or any family for that matter. I wish my mother was alive so we could see it together, that would be great. Funny thing is no matter how much you try not to be like your mom , you grow up and realize that you are very much like your mom. Reading the book made me think more of the positive things about my mom, and all the crazy little funny things she said, she did and the things she liked like a good cold coke. It made me think how much we love the same things. I wish she was here so that we could make some peace from our past. I would love to tell her that I know she did the best she could given the circumstances of her life. And that by having children of my own, I know it is the hardest job in the world. I can't even remember how many times my mother had to go to "the hospital that no ones calls a hospital", for some kind of nervous breakdown or just a break. I felt like Sidda , being the oldest and having to take care of my little sister, and thinking that if I could be a better kid, and not cause problems maybe she wouldnt have been so nervous. But I know now, it wasnt me. It just pisses me off that she is gone now and didnt get the help she needed, she had no friends and had been freshly d/f when she killed herself, she was only 35, my age now. I live for her and not a day goes by I dont think of her several times a day. If she is in heaven , I am not sure , I think she has helped me to heal and to see things as they were , I couldnt understand it back then. The book was almost a god send to me. It made me think of what she must have went thru all those years. Sorry for rambling, but I really do recommend reading the book , so many more details. There is also a book written by the same author called "Little Alters Everywhere", that has the same characters and tells more of what happened. I am planning on reading that one next. I think what you and your Princesss have, is one of the most beautiful things , I am jealous!!!!! :) But in a good way. I am also breaking the chain of silence and am more open and close with all of my children.
