This Shining Life
This Shining Life: A Novel | Harriet Kline
2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
When eleven-year-old Ollie's happy-go-lucky father, Rich, dies of brain cancer, the entire family is thrown into disarray. The only thing that makes sense to Ollie is the puzzle he's convinced his father left behind: six gifts, one for each member of the family. If he can find the connection between a fluted vase and an old pair of binoculars, or work out how the painting of a majestic ship fits in, then somehow he'll discover the secret he believes Rich wanted to share with them all: what it means to be alive.

I do recommend this story as it has a lot of feels, but just go into knowing there is quite a bit to follow and remember as you go through this. The one positive of the short chapters that if you feel you need to take a break, there are many places to stop and come back to it when you are emotionally ready.
