A beautiful book that captures a compelling love story exploring how fate unfolds and how people can impact our life in a positive way. It also addresses
the loss of a parent
and the book is basically a long letter from a father to his son.

This was a beautiful little tale. I wasn’t sure at the beginning but got more and more drawn into the meaning of the story, particularly the dad’s side. It was very well written and clever and a very interesting and thought provoking outlook on life. I really loved it.
