Family vacation time at the family cabin sounds like a wonderful story, doesn’t it?! Not when you are spending it with the Maxwells. If O’Nan’s aim was to make us feel the way the week together drags on for the family, then he was successful. I, like most of them, were counting down the minutes until time to wrap this trip up and go home. Another highly rated book that I just don't get.
