If stories construct us and how we view the world, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon takes this to another level to show us how our fates, relationships, and thankfulness are measured and drawn by stories. 

This is an incredible novel that uses storytelling to tell the story of a girl rewriting her story, how myth and fantasy are more deeply connected to our realities than we might first believe. This simple novel reminded me of my innocent love of stories and the power they hold to shape our future.
