I will forever thank whatever god led me towards this book. I wish I had the words to explain how much this book truly means to me. I’ve been reduced to tears several times during this read, I found myself living life chapter to chapter, nothing in between mattered and I just had my sights set on when I’d next be able to sit down and read a few more pages, or chapters, or the whole damn thing if I was only given the time and energy. 
Beautiful book, my heart weeps. 
Silas Bell and Mary Carter you are special to me forever.
