5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful story about grief and healing
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2020
"This is one of the most beautifully written stories. The pain Ellery feels after the death of his wife is so well written that my heart broke for him.
The way the author helped him heal gently and over time was simply amazing.
The heroine doesn’t ever question that her goal is to love the children and help them recover from their loss. This amazingly well developed character is love personified. She’s so real. She’s just broken enough to understand the deep pain her charges feel, yet hopeful enough to bring light to a family drowning in darkness.
If you’ve lost the light in your life, this book may help you regain hope. If you’ve dealt with depression you will find things to relate to in this story.
Regardless of where you are in life, this story will touch you and bring you a beautiful ending that’s really a precious beginning"
