This emotion stitched writing lived in my heart throughout the whole
book. It reminded me of a patchwork quilt. It was sewn together by
friends, family and a few visitors with a certain pattern of which, it
does not stick to. And yet they with love, compassion, humor and
acceptance make it work anyway. This story is the lives of magnificent
authentic characters that became real to me. I loved them, hated a few,
smiled and desperately wanted to help many and long for their return.
The quilt sewn and finished is unique in its excellence, which is
actually the flaws.
A father doing his best, deeply feels his
emotions without the knowledge of what to do. He has questions,
uncertainties and hope. A son with mistakes directed by love of another
and a ten year pause in his life and his families. The time has come for
him to blend back in and what? His own fears push speed bumps in the
middle of his road to his new beginning. Memories guide each of the
characters in different directions that we all can relate to, understand
and bond us all together.
One of the best reads I have had this
year. I shall follow this author and the unique real life in the voice
on paper. The stitched quilt of life will remain with me many years and I
will probably revisit this writing many times. The author's voice
brings you humanity and all that comes with it.
I won this book via
good reads first readers and feel very blessed to have been able to slip
in between the pages of such a exceptional written world.
5 out of 5 stars
