emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

The author's note at the end is a must read. There more than anywhere else in the book we see the author's growth and understanding, especially in regards to his mother. 

The inclusion of photos of actual letter and drawings gives this book a little something extra that helps it hit home. I think it was a very good choice to include them.
