    About this audiobook

    Critically acclaimed author Kathryn Cushman explores difficult social issues. Here, she tackles the child vaccination debate in a gripping portrait of life's uncertainties. At her sister's insistence, Grace Graham returns to backwoods Shoal Creek, Tennessee, with her four-year-old son in tow. As Grace struggles to reconnect with her estranged father, her unvaccinated son becomes ground-zero for a measles outbreak. But should she take her son and run-or stay and help?

      Reading the back of the book does not even hint at the true topic of this book. I found this to be difficult to read as it is a topic that is close to home for myself.

      Grace Graham is known for running every time life gets a little difficult. She would rather relocate than face those things that make her uncomfortable. This has caused her to be estranged from her family after her mother's death. After be called out on this by her sister she agrees to come home with her son Dylan to take care of her father following his knee surgery.

      Although there are other issues to be dealt with the main is that of vaccinations. Kathryn Cushman has written an excellent book on this very hot and very debatable topic. Grace's choice not to immunize her son leads to devastating consequences when he develops measles and exposes his infant cousin and other children in the church nursery. This sets the scene for a melt-down and the opportunity for Grace to stand firm.

      I did feel that Grace was treated unfairly by the townspeople. As this could just as easily been another non-immunized disease. However, the reaction was very realistic as people are sometimes driven by fear. And this fear can cause people to do cruel things.

      I appreciate the apparent research Kathryn Cushman did in writing this story. During this trial Grace learns about love, courage, forgiveness and what she is truly made of. The story is rich and full of interesting characters.

      Signs of a good book- they make you laugh, they make you cry and they make you think. All these were accomplished in this book.
      My only question,and it is a question as it has been a long time since I have had a 4 year old, is could he really of thought and said all the things that he did. Should the boy have been a little older?

      This is a story of a mom who decides not to vacinate her son, unbeknowst to her he comes in contact with someone with the measles. He then gets the measles and passes it on to the babies in the church nursery on Sunday. This is the story of her learning to stay and fight vs running away, it deals with relationships of Father/Daughter, Sisters, Communities, old school friends, Man/Women relationships.

      Grace was "bullied" into a group of moms in California into not getting her child vaccinated. These moms, curiously enough, are moms who have autistic children. So the story progresses and her son contracts measles- and then passes it to the entire town- which is bad b/c measles can be deadly for babies. Grace is put through the ringer by the entire town by for being so "stupid" for not vaccinating her child- she apparently didn't think about the "consequences."This was a very engaging story. As a mom, I wanted to keep reading to make sure that the kids would end up ok. I didn't, however, enjoy the strong take that the author took on the vaccination subject. I absolutely understand that this is personal so her- I believe she had a child who had measles. I am not arguing her points for vaccinating- I am, however, disappointed with how she treated the moms who chose not to vaccinate. She pretty much labeled them as tree hugging idiots. I am not sure if this is because she had a bad experience or because she has never known a child with autism.I find that the mom's that choose not to vaccinated are very well educated and not the "well whatever" moms that some of the minor characters where portrayed to be.I wouldn't recommend this to someone who has chosen not to vaccinate or to someone that doesn't have children in their life.
