Helpful Score: 6
Sarah is in her late 70's when abruptly widowed. This isn't one of those funny taking-to-the-road-to-find-yourself-after-all-these-years-type of book. Sarah sticks to what she knows: her home and family, to find herself after her husband's sudden death. Almost by happenstance, and at first reluctantly, she begins taking the cuckoos into her nest, youngsters and elders, strangers and family. And in the saving of them, she, herself, is saved, in a fashion, reborn.
Authors and critics often babble on about plot lines and truth in a novel, honesty blah blah, and I sigh and think, just give me a good story. Funny, after hundreds of books, I found myself thinking, this is the most emotionally honest, personally truthful, book that I've ever read. This is my second reading of this marvelous book, and again, I hated for it to end. I know that if the author continued the story, whether as a sequel or even as a monthly blog, I would delve right in and be comforted.
