I picked up this book not really giving it much thought.
It was recommended at my library, a 10 day loan, but I figured it would be just something like to chew on.
At first I found it was moving rather slow, because I went and expecting drama right away. The slow climb to the first incident finally arrived, and I did find myself moved to tears a few times on this book.
This book is a story of loss, true love, perseverance, and the strength to try new things in the face of challenging times.
Was it what I was expecting? Absolutely not.
This is a delicate read for what I’m used to, but I really enjoyed the character. Bill, was not something that I would’ve just picked up normally so I’m glad I went outside my comfort zone.
Definitely a comfort read, for those who dream of living in an ocean- view newly restored home.
