Review of Like Dandelion Dust

LIKE DANDELION DUST

Karen Kinsbury

One child, two sets of parents and one extremely difficult decision.  One father having anger and alcoholic tendencies, the other a hard working, loving man but both wanting a son.  One mother used as a punching bag and waiting for the one hit that will kill her, the other a stay home mom who had a life every woman dreams of.  One child and one decision that would change the lives of five people and possibly send two to prison and lead to the death of a child.  The agonizing decisions that a parent goes through to keep a child.  

I recommend reading the book and not seeing the movie.  The movie was a disappointment and rushed to much in the beginning and lingered to much at the end.  Not enough detail in the beginning to get the full emotional feel of the characters.  I understand that movies never follow the books exactly but this movie had only the main details from the book and most of the little details that meant a lot in the book were changed in the movie.  Great book but a bad movie.
