What an amazing story! I wasn’t sure what I was getting into but this cover had me sold, and seeing it circling around TikTok; I knew that I had to check it out.
It reads like a memoir with a personal touch and a lot of incredible moments, both hilarity and heartbreak.
I didn’t fall into the story right away – do keep going because you will get pulled in and then you won’t be able to stop reading! The first few pages really lay out the backstory of our characters from a very young age with a slow build, things pick up quickly from there throwing you right into the hustle and bustle!
There were so many moments that made me laugh, lines that were truly wonderful – whether some of it is embellished for the narrative or were things that they really did say, I don’t care, I will believe that they said these fabulous lines to help get them through the tough times.
Meghan, wow! You’ve done a tremendous job crafting this story, I cannot imagine the work and research involved to dig up this history and do your grandparents justice. You have done them justice – you should be so proud! This is an absolute gem you have here. I feel extremely privileged to have glimpsed Miriam and Theo’s lives told with such love and care. I laughed, I cried, I held my breath and was filled with joy.
Your story – their story – impacted me on a very deep level, thank you for sharing it with the world. It is truly a beautiful masterpiece of life, the good, the bad and those precious moments of love shared with another.
