Customer Reviews
Absolutely and Completely Wonderful
Wow…what a joyous, beautiful story. From start to finish, there was not a single point where I didn’t feel lifted and engaged. To put it in overly simple terms, this books is like the movie “Up” but avoids the Pixar flow of positive then really negative followed by the most positive. Instead, this book radiates positive (while there are some hurtles characters have to overcome, they do so with love and companionship).
