I haven't read her novel yet. I've read some of her short stories...one very well done was about her newly adopted brother. My cousin and her husband have three kids and recently adopted an adorable little guy from Africa. Her story about his arrival and first days with them was quite touching and humorous. So, I am hoping her novel is as well done.
