Truly an amazing story. I just read this book to complete the ABC challenge I do each year, and I've never been happier to have randomly picked up a book, solely because of the title. These little slice of life stories about ordinary people are so simple and yet so heartwarming. Somehow Hunt is able to show us a person's entire life in under 200 pages and make us connect with her and feel for her so much that I was sad to finish the book. Nothing really incredible or exciting happens, but I still couldn't put it down. It was a great journey through hope and beginnings that eventually bleed into grief and how to continue life after that. It was beautifully written, easy to follow, and just all around an incredible read.
