4.5

I loved reading this during the summer. The material can be tough at times, but overall a gorgeous story about one family and the events that shape them. I teared up at the end, rare for me. Loved some of the side characters especially (Mae & Ben). All with beautiful Maine and Nova Scotia in the background.
