Cynthia Leitich Smith

I might or might not have read or skimmed the book blurb back when I first came across this novel. Don't remember.

But, because I started it without any knowledge (or remembrance) about the plot, I was able to step in and just take the story as it came.

Granted, it required a little patience on my part. I admittedly started the novel with work deadlines and other stuff looming in front of my psyche. And this isn't a loud read to grab your brain and pull you through the pages at breakneck speed.

Still, as I let this thoughtfully delivered, ultimately poignant story of grief and healing come to me, it became something rather beautiful.

Note:
• no profanity
• no graphic violence
• no explicit sexual content… (more)
