By all rights, the world really was against Li'l Bits. Born with dwarfism, from her first breath, circumstances seemed to be contriving against her.
In an act of desperation, she is left on a doorstep and fate steps in, to not only her life, but the war-shattered lives of those who end up becoming her family.
For the sake of Li'l Bits, Remy, George, Trinny and Orvalee do their best to set aside personal wounds and trauma. But how does one not bleed to death while trying to open a heart to the kind of love that stretches, expands, and makes things grow?
When one giant heart resides within one diminutive body, miracles happen, proving that when love is what we choose, love is what we receive.
This story beautifully illustrates the power of one individual to positively influence everyone around her. It was a bonus to have the author attend our book club and share insights into the writing process.
2025 52 Book club challenge #22 Found family trope
It was fun having the author at our book club where we discussed this book. I enjoyed the story and I think that Ms. Wray is a great storyteller. There is a lot of kindness, acceptance, and love in this book, and who doesn't love reading about that? Not sure that in Louisiana in the 50's when Jim Crow laws were alive and well and with all of their different ethnicities that they all could live so happily, but it's warm-hearted fiction., and I enjoyed it for what it is.
