Very emotional Addiction is something that affects my family on a very personal level, so I felt particularly emotional about the subject matter. The book is told from mainly two people's viewpoints, but always in third person narration. This was my first read by this author, and I definitely intend to read more of her novels. She made it easy to identify with the characters, and made me want to keep reading to find out what happened to them. There was one point when I shed a couple of tears,

4 1/2 stars, really good. ( I like the description on Amazon better than the one here:"Former Broadway dancer and current agoraphobic Billy Shine has not set foot outside his apartment in almost a decade. He has glimpsed his neighborsbeautiful manicurist Rayleen, lonely old Ms. Hinman, bigoted and angry Mr. Lafferty, kind-hearted Felipe, and 9-year-old Grace and her former addict mother Eileen. But most of them have never seen Billy. Not until Grace begins to sit outside on the buildings front

If I could give this book more stars, I would. The whole concept, the uncomplaining way nine-year old Grace just accepts what happens to her because of her mother's addictions, brings so many different people to a moment of looking outside of themselves. The role the blessing of Reiki plays, as well as the healing of dancing, music, simple beauty of emotions, all these combinations made me love the book and all the characters. From the first pages I was wrapped up in the way Grace just sits

There are those authors who create such life within the characters they write that you immediately are drawn into their story, and Catherine Ryan Hyde is that author. From the very first chapter of Don't Let Me Go you are cheering for the main character, Grace. The young girl, whose mother is a drug addict, is basically left to fend for herself. It is this feeling of being alone that drives the book. The vulnerability of that one girl brings an entire group of unlikely loners together. Grace's

Grace Johnson is a nine year old girl whose mother Eileen is a drug addict. Grace knows that life with her mother wasn't normal and that she needed help, but didn't know how to go about getting it. So she would sit for hours outside on the stoop of her apartment building hoping someone who notice her.Billy Shine is a former Broadway dancer who suffers from agoraphobia and hasn't left his apartment in over a decade. From his patio, he notices that Grace has started to sit on the stoop for hours
