A sweet, if maudlin, story of a remarkable who dies of cancer. We learn the stories of each of the main characters? relationship to Olivia, the child Megan raised as her own.

A beautifully written story of life, death and lifelong friendships. "Megan's Way" puts you on an emotional roller coaster as you read about her battle with cancer, her relationships and final decision to terminate treatment. This book forces you to reflect on your own life as you realize how your decisions affect those around you. Be sure to have a box of Kleenex handy. ( )

I found this book to be sappy, strange and there was NO connection to the characters at all. How many times can one describe what a tear looks like after it falls? Too much repetition for me, though the book could of ended at 50% on my Kindle. Then it really became unbelievable when it gets to Holly switching the babies...come on woMAN! So Megan has some physic connection to Holly's kid...nah! Call me dense... I have only read 70 books so far this year, I just did not get the ending. I gave it three stars to be kind. ( )

Synopsis (from Amazon): What would you give up for the people you love?
When Megan Taylor, a single mother and artist, receives the shocking news that her cancer has returned, she'll be faced with the most difficult decision she's ever had to make. She'll endure an emotional journey, questioning her own moral and ethical values, and the decisions she'd made long ago. The love she has for her daughter, Olivia, and her closest friends, will be stretched and frayed.
Meanwhile, fourteen-year-old Olivia's world is falling apart right before her eyes, and there's nothing she can do about it. She finds herself acting in ways she cannot even begin to understand. When her internal struggles turn to dangerous behavior, her life will hang in the balance.

My Thoughts and Opinion: Let me tell you right up front that I am going to have difficulty reviewing this book because of the heart wrenching premise and the moving emotions that were conveyed. Miss Foster's writing style was flowing and allowed the characters to come to life from the very start. The friendships, so detailed and poignant yet flawed. Friendships that were so loving and loyal yet secretive with bits of betrayal. Decisions that are truly thought provoking, asking oneself "what would I do in that situation?". This reader, as in real life, had tears of happiness and silliness but at other times sadness and grief. There is also a spiritual connection between mother and daughter. I think if you believe in an after life, Ms. Foster, describes one that is something we all hope for. An emotional block buster!! Highly Recommend!!!

My Rating: 4 ( )

This book is an emotional read. I was very impressed with how the author caught the emotions and experiences of a teen and mom preparing for such a final seperation. I lost my mom when I was 15 years old from cancer and I thought the author did a wonderful job bringing respect and love to this story. ( )
