Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I normally don't write reviews because I'm not particularly good at doing so. In this case, however, I so thoroughly enjoyed this book that I'm making the attempt in the hopes of encouraging others to read it. The book is charming, has a bit of mystery to it plus a ghostly presence, and it's like life itself---there are things that will make you happy and things that will make you a bit sad because the characters become real to you. The story is a bit of a tapestry in that it weaves together various threads of the stories of various people's lives to create a beautiful "garment." I did feel the book wrapping itself around me and felt I could "wear" the story because it made me see how people and things in my own life form a pattern, too. I highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates gentle stories with an ultimate happy ending. The theme is love for others, animals, and yourself; and I'd like to share that feeling with other readers. I do hope this author will continue writing and providing such wonderful books to read.
