Welcome to Litsy!

5-31-21: My 57th finished book of 2021! What a powerful memoir that had me crying up until the last page. Joyce Maynard tells the story of her later in life marriage to her soulmate and the crushing blow they received with a pancreatic cancer diagnosis for him. This is a love story with a tragic ending. I took care of both my parents during their illnesses and this brought back a lot of sad memories but the love these two shared was beautiful. ⬇️

A beautiful and heartbreaking story about how a stranger comes into the life of a mother and son and impacts their lives. A great book from @pageonebooks. See my review at https://youtu.be/1ooLZ_DuSWI
