The way that this story brought the reader along the entire journey through all the twists and turns of life was nearly cinematic. The pace gave me a lot of time to warm up to the characters and inevitably love them all even through their flaws and challenges. It was an entirely emotional and vivid experience to read this novel and I loved almost every second of it.

It was relatable, funny, and heartbreaking till the end, and I completely unraveled towards the end. It felt like I came crashing down with the characters durring their greif and heartache.<spoiler/> This is the type of book I would spend months on and appreciate all the time I invest in it.

I haven't been this emotionally invested in a book in quite awhile. Really strong writing. It honors the Keseyian "never give an inch" spirit of the logging community while also asking at what cost? And, who is paying?
