Every Precious and Fragile Thing: A Novel by Barbara Davis

mysterious reflective slow-paced

4.25

This was a beautiful story about family and forgiveness. When a tragedy occurs in Mallory's job, she takes leave and goes home. Her and her mother, Helen, have a rocky past filled with secrets and they don't really get along. When she gets there, she runs into an old love that she almost married, Aiden. They are both broken in ways and it's awkward to be around each other. 

I loved every part of this. The past we get to see from Helen, her journal and the mystery person she's writing to. The journey of healing Aidan and his mother go through. All is just beautiful.
