A young man‘s journey to solve the mystery of his parents death when he was 4 yrs old and of self discovery along the way. Beautifully written, this book had me engaged from the first page to the last.

I loved the journey in this one!

RadicalReader @Gaelle2868 I love the cover on this book. If the cover doesn‘t intrigue you from the mystical magical look on her face nothing will compelle you to get this book on to your TBR list quicker! 7y

I found this to be a touching story about family love, emotional decisions made with good intentions yet destructive consequences and yet...

I was intrigued by the story but at times found it a bit corny.

Initially I struggled to get into the story but persevered. I found I enjoyed the author's character depictions. Like a tapestry of human stories.

"Why she sought him out she could not exactly say, only that at particular moments, by either accident or design, persons appear from nowhere to point you in a certain direction."

kspenmoll Loved that quote too. Struggled with book until I viewed it as character vignettes- glad I finished it now. 8y
Gaelle2868 @kspenmoll I also struggled with it but liked the character portrayals. Made me think we're each individual stories orbiting and connecting with others in an overall story. 8y

Mystery, intrigue, a strong female heroine, a love story and a plot twist...I was hooked from the beginning.

A tender compassionate story about grief, love and the choices we make motivated by these emotions...
