[Danielle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've had this small book checked out from the library for a couple months, and it was hard for me to finally pick it up. I have been having a very difficult time since losing my dog Sawyer in April, and placed some books on hold to see if they could help me.

The quotes in this book made me feel less alone, and although I did get very emotional reading the book I'm glad I read it. I still end up crying most days, and I don't know when I'll be okay again.
