Elizabeth, I highly recommend it. I thought that it was exceptionally well done. I was planning to get a review written by today but I think it probably will not be until at least tomorrow and I don’t know how much of one I’m going to write.

Lisa Vegan I just read another review and forgot to mention: Oh, yes, I cried too.

Margie, I hope that you can find a copy to read. It was special.

Julie G I love the cover of this one and I appreciate that you mentioned that some of the characters aren't human! I'm finishing up a novel right now and I have been as interested in the dog as I've been in any of the human characters, and it begs to be mentioned.

Julie, I highly recommend this book! It's really special. At first the dog didn't seem to ahve the biggest role but he does become important and just having him as a character made me happy. There is one other animal too who makes a brief appearance.

Lisa Vegan Julie, I just looked at your page. Is the book with the dog Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher?

I have that book on my to read list. Off to check that it's on my dogs shelf...


message 9: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan P.S. Yes, the dogs shelf is there. I'm eager to read your review. Maybe I'll bump up reading the book if you've enjoyed it.

Julie G Yes, that's the book! Hopefully I'll review it tonight or tomorrow.

Laura, Thank you. I did. It was excellent.


Bren fall in love with the sea. Beautiful review Lisa. It sounds like a charming story. I’ve read some inverse stories in the past and some I like more than others. Interestingly enough there’s a book I read called up from the sea which is also about 911 and is told in verse.

Thanks, Bren. I don't usually gravitate to b books in verse but I have enjoyed a few and this is one of them. I'll look for Up From the Sea.

Eileen, Thanks.

I highly recommend it. If you read it I'd love to read what you think of it.

Eileen I recently read this and loved it! I got it from the library but think I'll get my own copy. Like you, it made me want to go hiking, but also like you I fear heights now. That only made me admire Finn more for his courage and determination. I was so moved by this story. Kate Messner is a great writer!
