'Weary or bitter of bewildered as we may be, God is faithful. He lets us wander so we will know what it means to come home.'

TheBookKeepers How is this book?? I have it on my shelf but have never picked it up 5y
amanda.meadows.1989 I've really loved it...it's character-driven, not a lot of action. But it's beautiful, thoughtful, wistful. I'm not finished yet, but getting close! 5y

Holiday travelling companion. This is one of those books that digs into the corners of your heart in the most painful, beautiful ways.

It took watching this miniseries to get me to finally read this! I listened to the audio version, read by Dan Stevens and it was superb. 👌

In Polish, the title is ONE MORE BREATH. Giving this book to my lead teacher for her birthday tomorrow. I just hope the translation does Kalanithi's book justice.

Don't let the short length of this book fool you...your brain will be challenged and your perception of learning will be expanded.

MrBook Looks and sounds great! Added 😊👍🏻. 8y

Mama Day | Gloria Naylor

It seems like God reached way down into his box of paints, found the purest reds, the deepest purples, and a dab of midnight blue, then just kinda trailed his fingers along the curve of the horizon and let 'em all bleed down. And when them streaks of color hit the hush-a-by green of the marsh grass with the blue of The Sound behind 'em, you ain't never had to set foot in a church to know you looking at a living prayer.

The stories are 'meh' but it's worth buying simply for the detailed and whimsical illustrations.

MAMA DAY by Gloria Naylor. My standby book recommendation. Do yourself a favour and read it ASAP. Be ready to have your heart broken... maybe even 'literally.' (You'll find out why later...)

Suzze Just got it! 8y
