Sarah is the spiritual mother/sister/friend we all need.
I know everyone is all about Cozy Fantasy at the moment but is there such a thing as Cozy Spirituality? Well, if there is, I vote for this book to be on the list. The content isn‘t easy - Sarah is writing to those who have felt on the outside, whether through being left behind, doing the leaving or feeling pushed or just never really fitting in - but the tone is soothing and comforting.❤️
