Letter writing and story telling at its best! The true raw yet spunky storytelling flows from page to page. I couldn’t wait for each page to turn, yet was sad when I completed the book. This is a great book to read again and again (once a year, make a date with yourself to enjoy it again like a favorite movie).

Yes. Deceptively simple prose leads the reader on a journey through grief, connectedness, openness, and forgiveness. A very well done epistolary novel, and the audiobook is wonderful, too.
