Not only was this an entertaining read for our road trip, but we talked about the book on long hikes, guessing who might have done it. The characters are all well rounded and the shifting perspectives really works.

While you know what is likely to happen, the journey is entertaining, the jokes land, and the characters are fun. We listened to this as an audiobook while on family vacation.

“Loss had alerted us to earlier memories, and they sat in contrast to the parent we thought we knew.”
Sari Fordham, Wait for God to Notice

“My father attended a one-room Adventist school. He could barely read or write, and during class, he wandered around the room, no doubt annoying his teacher.

“We know and don’t know our parents in equal parts.”
