I really enjoyed this story. I've never read another one like it. It is unusual yet relatable, and I think that I could pick the book up in a few years and feel like I am coming back to visit old friends.

TODAY‘S PROMPT: PROTAGONIST WITH A DISABILITY

Lillian was skepticaL about the nanny job, but also couldn‘t believe the luck of being able to live in a mansion‘s guest cottage with domestic help.

The only draw back is that the children have some rare disease where they automatically combust when they get upset. Yes...they catch on fire.

I feel like I‘m one of a few who didn‘t read this when it was published. One reason I didn‘t is because I dislike the cover. So, I finally read it after a librarian picked it for me.
I liked this story, but not as much as many other people. It was sweet, I liked the message, a quick read. 3/5 ⭐️

Soubhiville I agree about the cover. But I do enjoy Kevin Wilson. 2w

Did I ever need this book right now! This was a quiet, contemplative read, almost meditative at times. I lost myself in the stories many times, especially when driving. I really enjoyed the audiobook, particularly so as the author read her own words. A good read at any time of year, but right now, as spring is emerging, it seemed very on point. 5/5⭐️

LeslieO I‘m really enjoying it. I‘m trying to read it by the season, spread it out all year. 1mo
PurpleyPumpkin @LeslieO That‘s a lovely idea! After reading the audiobook, I‘d like to reread the print version and take more time with it. Reading with each season would be a nice way to really immerse myself in the book! Glad you‘re enjoying it so far. 1mo
MemoirsForMe Oh, this sounds so good. Stacked! 1mo

Set in Tenessee in 1952 this is a great story of a family of 3 brothers + a father who is returning after a long absence. The father E F Bloodworth, in his 70s has a reputation for violence in the past and for playing the banjo. The bk also focuses on his grandson Fleming. This was a really enjoyable family drama with great characters and some brilliant scenes. Evokes the region + tensions within families, as well as the exuberance of youth well

TrishB Great review 👍🏻 2mo

This was a gentle quiet read. I would put it in a collection with Soil by Camille Dungy, Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, and Lab Girl by Hope Jahren: stories of women reflecting their lives and histories in the natural world. But more than that, the natural world is more important than the author at times. Not feel good books, but closer to calls to action than memoirs.

I‘m home sick today but twitchy. This is a thoughtful, gentle rumination while I needle felt a prize for a friend.

Ruthiella Hope you feel better soon. 🤒❤️ 2mo
MissHel @Ruthiella thank you! I‘m only slightly pathetic. 2mo

This had many of the tropes that I enjoy reading like: He falls first, Second chance romance, if you fell in love with Allie and Noah in Nicholas Spark's The Notebook, then this book will whisk you away in a sweet and touching story of love found and lost, hearts broken and mended, and the strength of Love and Souls to find their back to each other.
