hopeful inspiring medium-paced

4.0

This was a pleasantly surprising and heartwarming read!

It was nice to see what good came out of such a traumatic event, and I'm glad that the book kept its focus on the people in Gander, it really helped to connect to those people.

Something I took away from the book was how COMPLICATED everything was with border control and any process related to that, since there was no precedent for such a huge homeland security breach. 

Anyway, very good read, would recommend for an uplifting read that promotes the power of thy neighbor!
