This picture has nothing ostensibly to do with the book, but it made me just as happy as wearing this new dress and heals to work today. I'm so glad it called to me from the book shelf it's been on for years.

This book is probably the best book I've read this year. Through writing to 5 people in her life who have died, Mary has so much to say about family, worthiness, and belonging. This book, like my dress, is a keeper.

I was walking past my bookshelf this morning and this book stood out to me. I took that as a sign. It's been on my shelf long enough.
