It's a weird thing how people whom we call family felt like stranger being around them, and how a stranger could make us fell like we have known them for so long. That's exactly what Peter Stone is going through. On every typical family's issue most of the time it's the lack of 'right' communication that lead into the family members' relationship being distanced apart -- people do too much of the talking and less of listening.

The story ended magically. And reading this book I do wish that the valley of such does exist, or -- on more realistically -- a person like Annie exist; more people like Annie exist. And more people choose to listen.
