Review-

 A unique way of interjecting faith into a persons views. I liked the outlook the author took with this story. As the book progresses you can see and feel the struggle the characters have. I feel this book would be a good teaching tool. Faith and the questions surrounding it are artfully detailed without being overbearing. An extraordinary journey in the lives of a very ordinary family. Filled with life lessons about love & loss, life & death, acceptance & understanding, past & future and a little faith & hope mixed in. I think sometimes we get so wrapped up in the daily grind that we forget to stop and be thankful. A wonderful little story to remind us.
