I found this book on Libby's "Everyone Reads" program.  It was a beautiful and thoughtful book on trauma and the power to survive and forgive in order to move on with one's life.

I found this as a "Together We Read" challenge on Libby, and decided to give it a try. It's not a genre I usually like, but I enjoyed the story. I found the ending to be rushed, but otherwise liked the story.
