Where to begin. I truly love this book. I finished on June 29. I read slowly, so I could savor every nuance of the tale. I'll be honest, I'd live to see a crater of water and to look into it. To have it tell me a truth I would see. I feel I know what it would be. We all have truths in us and were they placed into our psyche or do we learn them through living? This story asks the questions and shows us the answers. I loved the characters. This will be one I'll happily read again. I highly recommend this book.
