I couldn’t put this book down. It was so emotional, relatable,
and just damn good. From the very beginnining we’re drawn into
this family turmoil, from a long standing drought, to the dramtics
of a 6 year old that doesn’t understand, to a college boy with secrets
so deep it brings stress to the entire family. As Sam uncovers we all
have monsters and just need to make friends with them, to know it’s
okay to feel our emotions in the moment, but to feel and release is key,
I not on;y learned something about myself, but cried for my younger self too.
This book is a real eye opener and reminder we have a right to feel. Abby
was especially funny with her “dickbirds” and just being a typical 6 ur old.
Highly recommend this book!
