A review by jackiepd1984
The Honey Thief by Elizabeth Graver

4.0

This book hit home in a lot of ways. My daughter and I have been alone since she was 7. Her father is bi-polar, but he didn't kill himself. Elizabeth Graver could have been in our house recording some of the fights my husband and I had and the manic episodes we endured. She was incredibly adept at writing these scenes and making them real. For me, the book brought back memories and old feelings of worry about my own child. Reading those scenes left me somewhat unsettled but knowing things have a way of working out, both in fiction and the real world helps. I recommend this book. It was touching and sweet in some places and gritty and real in others, just like life.
