The Secret Hum of a Daisy by Tracy Holczer

3.0

I must admit that I was disappointed at the effort it took me to read this book. I thought that this book would captivate me once I started reading. It did not. The place the story started seemed very awkward. I was not sure how Grace reunited with her grandmother as they were not in contact with each other. It was hard to keep going with this book because the plot was very confusing. As they slowly revealed the past of Grace's mother and the secrets she kept, I was still unsure of what the point of the book was. However, I admired the secondary characters, and the symbolism they showed in the book. I myself being a lover of cranes; the bird they speak of quite often in the book. The ending was decent, and the way they tied things up did not leave me feeling lost. Overall, while this book was not the best I had read, it was alright.
