Why I Recommend It

This is a touching book about love, kindness and hope told through a unique storyteller.

My Review

It seems like the world is so often filled with sorrow and loss and disconnected relationships. I love the way the author shares a simple story that takes place in a small time and involves multiple story lines that appear completely unrelated. The unique perspective of a creature that is unnoticed by most provides a sweet and compelling platform to help us all look at our lives and see how loss, trials, and heartaches can actually be used as tools to help us grow and experience special relationships with others that would likely have never even been possible without those tribulations.

Multifamily Takeaways 

Recognizing that people are often in their own self made prisons of loneliness and isolation can help you serve those residents right where they are but also open up endless possibilities through your acts of kindness and respect.
