It was uplifting, and interesting with some twists I didn&#39;t see coming...It wasn&#39;t all sweet and goody two shoes either. It had some dark and realistic moments and characters. Very well written.' </em>-(Amazon Customer)&nbsp;</p><p>Volume 1) On Herring Cove Road: Mr. Rosen and His 43Lb Anxiety<br />
