This story has so many things that make it great, it is emotional and sad at times, funny and uplifting with the care and love that is shown and above all else it is a beautiful love story told by a beautiful character Mrs. Henry Parker, even if she can’t remember everything, she never forgets Henry, I hope that you pick this one up and enjoy the search for Henry as much as I did.
