This is a wonderful little book. It is a reflection on loss and the choices one makes dealing with loss. Very well written and evocative. I found this book really resonated with me, and I marked many pages that had passages I want to return to. A wonderful celebration of the life of her father, and a work that brings the memory of his spirit to others.

A very well written and deeply though provoking story of a daughter confronting the loss of her father.
I only wish I could have learned a little bit more about the narrator outside of this loss.
