Pax, Journey Home | 
pickI loved returning to these characters. Peter is broken from the heartbreak of the last book and Pax has established his own family. Seeing how those two can help each other with healing and growth was beautiful.
“Memories were so treacherous. Always lurking under the surface, ready to bushwhack you with a blade to the heat when you weren‘t careful.”
pickCute sequel to the original with a good mixture of life lessons. Great discussions on ecology & the responsibility humans have to care for nature as well as a wonderful focus on dealing with grief. There is a lot packed into this little book but it is so heart-warming and wonderful after going through it. It can be a bit of a tear-jerker in places and definitely could be a hard hitter for those with soft hearts. Adorable and really well-written.
