The World at My Feet by Catherine Isaac
4.0
How can a painful story have such a beautiful sweet telling!
I am trying to write a review without spoiling anything as its very important to get into the story without knowing the truth of Elli's past. Its so nice to read a story that deals with the reality of anxiety and fears, and how our childhood haunts us, even if everyone tries to make things better!
This book deserves so much more love.
I am from Cyprus and our family was involved in humanitarian missions to Romanian orphanages. I still remember the girls that came to stay with us until they were adopted by other families or returned back to their own families. I was too young to remember the how they came, what had happened to them, but this book took me back to memory lane and opened a beautiful conversation with my mother who, despite the fact she was a single mother raising 2 daughters she became a Foster mom for 2 girls that needed this the most.
Ps. To be honest is one of the rare occasions that I feel that the title and the cover doesn't help this book to get the hype it deserves.
