Well written book that bounces back and forth in time. Explores how we become the people we are, and how experiences influence us. Also, it's interesting to see how the daughter's view of her mother changes as the daughter reflects on her mother's interactions with her self, her friends, and the daughter's friends. Woven throughout the story is the question of genetic testing, and the ramifications of knowing the answers these tests can provide. There's a lot here that is book club worthy!
