I think the critique of Lucy’s relationship with Christopher is fair, it should have been less loving at school. I appreciate her comments of foster care and the importance of loving a child as essential.

I think I read this story exactly when I needed it. This had me crying many times, with a constant stream of tears for the last 25%. I can’t quite explain the hope & joy Meg Shaffer weaved into this delightful little gem, but this was an absolute pleasure to read.
This gave me the feels similar to one of my favorites— The House in the Cerulean Sea, so if you also loved that book, give this one a try.
