This was such a good book. There are not enough words to express exactly how much I loved this story. It was magical in so many ways. Poetic in so many ways. The family dynamics. Family strengths and weaknesses. Love, laughter and anger. This was one of those books you won’t want to put down until you read the very last word. It will make you cry some very ugly tears in so many places too. But it’s so good that you won’t care.
Three siblings dealing with their dad having such an ugly disease, Alzheimer’s. It’s such an awful thing to think about... losing your memories. This family has been through a lot and this is the one thing that brings them all together for the ride of your life. You will get a chuckle or two along the way but overall you will want to slap a couple of faces, hug a few necks and console these three siblings. They certainly have their faults. They have many ups and downs. But it appears almost anything can be forgiven. Almost.
Wonderful characters. Descriptions that will make you feel you are there and feelings deep in your soul. This author captured this book perfectly. She did a wonderful job.
This book touched my heart in ways that a book has not done in a while. I’ve read some wonderful books but this one is in a league of it’s own. A must read for anyone that loves family dramas. Coming to terms with things and finding the way back home. The most important of all is, finding the way back home. Two things in this book that truly popped out for me was near the ending: I believe home is a land that calls for you, a place that shelters. It’s a family with all the complications that a family can be.
Home is more than a place, it’s a love story....
I have to thank #NetGalley, #Berkeley Publishing for the copy in exchange for my honest review.
This is definitely a 5 star book. I so highly recommend this one.
