I am struggling to put into words how much I loved this book. It will break the heart of anyone who has ever loved a child. That being said, I do believe that those of us who are parents will have a special place in their hearts for this book. There were times while I was reading where the events that were occurring were so heartbreaking I found myself tearing through the pages, wanting to just "get through it". Not that this book wasn't completely enjoyable; it's just one of those rare books that exemplifies the miracles that occur everyday, but because they are so commonplace, seem almost mundane. Such as the all-encompassing love a parent has for their child, wherein they would lay down their very lives if it means the child will be safe and happy. While feelings like these occur in every town in every country, every minute of every day, that does not diminish the fact that they are indeed miracles. This is the first book I read this year that was so wonderful it literally took my breath away. It has earned a spot on my "favorites" shelf, and I will recommend this book to anyone who will listen.
