This was one of my favorite books as a child, in fact I still have my original copy I begged my dad to buy me in 2010. 
I have read this book at least a dozen times since then. The growth of the characters never ceases to stop me in my tracks. I lost my dad a few years ago, and haven’t been able to pick it back up since. I wanted to share this book with my now partner, and read it together. I worried it wouldn’t hold its old charm, and can truly say it did, still wrecking me completely.
There are religious undertones that other may find triggering, but I have never found it overwhelming. 
Still one of my favorite books!!
