"I know it is likely that most of the things are worthless, and no one will want them back. But if you can make just one person happy, mend one broken heart by restoring to them what they have lost, then it will have all been worthwhile"

I read this book years ago and remember loving it. It hit differently now, it was just okay.  I love the idea that we are never truly lost and that items carry energy and stories that exist beyond the present moment. The pace was a little slow for me. Sunshine and all the puppies were easily my favorite characters.
