I didn’t realize HOW MUCH I would truly end up LOVING this book! It’s amazing! From beginning to end, I love it all!
A striking tale of abandonment, predujice, perservance, and resilience coupled with the solace of nature and the mystery of love all in the name of survival.
Fantastic book
Stunning.
Best when heard.
