How this book has helped me heal
This past summer I picked this book up at the bookstore. I really didn't know what it was about just saw it and thought it might be a good read. I was spending many hours at the hospital with my Mom and took it with me to pass the time. I was only able to start the first few pages before my mom who was diagnosed with cancer almost 8 years ago, said goodbye. We let her spirit free in a country cemetery on one of the hottest days of the year. After my Mom's passing I set the book down and didn't feel like reading. A few months later I started reading it again and was touched by so many of the parallels between my Mom's life and that of Barbra's. I cried a lot as I read this book taking the time to honor my Mom and her legacy that she left. It made me realize how important my Mother really was and how even though she is gone I can still continue. I want to thank Elizabeth for this novel as it was a small part of my healing. To my Mom and everything she has done for me and for so many other people in her life.
Thank you Elizabeth you are a wonderful writer and an inspiration.
