    I'd like to know more about this book. The 56 excerpt and the opening both intrigue me. I especially like the description in the 56.
    Thank you for hosting The Friday 56.

    Having arguing the only thing that is holding you together doesn't sound like fun, but I have heard good things about this book.

    ENJOY your weekend.
