Dreaming of Flight | Catherine Ryan Hyde

1. I would probably name my yacht something like Blueberry's Patch and paint blueberries on it.
2. Several long mystery series and everything I haven't yet read by Catherine Ryan Hyde.

This is our February book club book and I was quite surprised with how much I really loved this sweetly sad book. The audio is well-performed with two readers for both 11-year-old Stewie and his older neighbor, Marilyn. Stewie meets her during his egg route and this new relationship changes his whole life. I wasn‘t expecting to be brought to tears over chickens, but I really enjoyed this quick listen!

Why do I forget about Catherine Ryan Hyde? She is a great author of so many heartwarming and feel-good stories. It's honestly like a breath of fresh air. If you ever get a bit tired of complicated sci-fi worlds, books where everyone gets murdered, or if those romantic rom coms all start seeming hum drum..switch to one of Catherine's highly rated books. I enjoyed this one about 11 yr old Stewie who learns about loss and love of family and friends.

KathyWheeler Goodreads often recommends her books for me, but I‘ve never read one. Sounds like I should checkout her work. 2y

What a dear coming of age story. A young boy who lost his “Gam.” He lives only with his older sister and handicapped brother. He pours his energies into raising Gsm‘s hens and selling eggs. A perfectly lovely, ambitious and deeply wounded little child. He finds an unlikely, yet similar grandmother figure in a crusty woman on his route. Her problems become his concerns and she helps him to find a path to live fully again. Sweet story!!

I went into this without knowing anything but the cover synopsis. An easy read, about a sweet 11 year old boy who was orphaned as an infant and is being raised with his disabled brother by their older sister. Stewie‘s connection to the world is complex yet compassionate. His friendship with Marilyn is endearing and they truly help each other in the end. Stewie is so precious. This is a story about, connections. Book #38 in 2022

Allthebookclubs I find that end of life care is awful, our parents do everything for us when we‘re born until we‘re at least 18, and many parents continue to help their kids in so many ways well into adulthood. The fact that this family could not find it in their hearts to consider their mothers final chapter in life and try to make it the best for her is infuriating.
