Welcome to Litsy!

“But there‘s not a tree in the world like the ones you grow up with. You never forget them, and the trees remember you.”
“And I also saw that a person never does know know anything, really, until they have lost someone they love completely.”
This isn‘t my favorite Silas House book, but as always, he writes beautifully of nature and hits the emotions. The story of a 10 year-old boy and his family. Father with PTSD from Vietnam. 👇

“Years later I would realize that this was one of the world‘s great problems, that people often allow themselves not to think. The choose to not think, and that‘s how the whole world gets into trouble. My only excuse that day was that I was a child.”

I like the idea of #recommendsday. I read this back in 2009 and Eli so completely set up camp in my heart that I still find myself thinking about him. A five star book for me.
