Reviews

"Offering a great deal of nuance within an approachable narrative, this tender novel glows with affection and hope for its grieving family--and with promise for its first-time author." --Starred review, Booklist

"The story unfolds layer by layer, revealing each character's personality, secrets, and flaws. . . . The healing is drawn honestly and the ending is ultimately hopeful." --School Library Journal

"A warm, tender tale that touches the heart." --Kirkus Reviews

"A lucid and quiet telling that respects its characters' historical perspectives." --Chicago Tribune

." . . the novel is a more than helpful answer to the age-old question of why God sometimes answers prayers in unusual ways."--Catholic Explorer
