Book Recommendation

Those of you who know me well know I rarely recommend a book.  My level of expectation is over-the-top---so I do especially apreciate books that speak to me when I find them.

This book was given to me yesterday by a local.  She said "I have something I think you might like" then pulled the book out of her tote box.

Her grandson, 11, was killed in July on a farming accident.  We talked about that a bit and she said, "Keep the book-----I hope it speaks to you."

I read it last night then read it over the phone to a friend who has recently been widowed.

If you know of anyone who has experienced loss or grief then I recommend this book highly.  The printing lends itself to being read to a child; but the story is age-less and I feel touches the soul deeply.
