Finding the Grain is a soul searching ebook, the journey of a woman who bravely sets out to deal with many underlying feelings that we have all carried over from childhood. It is set in a 7 day period of mourning, sadly, as the heroine succumbs to death shortly after finding the insight she needed. It winds thru revealing conversations of friends, family, and mourners.

I received this book for free, in exchange for an honest review.

Deep and thought provoking. This is two stories in one, both delving into the spirits of broken people in one sense a love story, but also a story of survival..

This is a love story and a story of survival. Two stories in tandem, Dr'm 've into the spirits of a family of broken people.
