What a wonderful way to start my reading year. I was surprised by how much I really enjoyed this "memoir," especially when it seemed to be starting on a religious "all things have a purpose" tone (I have issues with that belief), and then it turned into this beautiful exploration about grief and loss and reconciliation and how we form the stories of our lives. Reminded me of Big Fish, which is my favorite movie.
I think I'm going to buy this one because it's one that I can see myself returning to.
