4.0

Emotional story of a town, one man in particular, trying to heal after a tragic event. Told through his letters to his Jungian analyst, the grief and devastation are palpable, but the story is ultimately hopeful in its telling of forgiveness and rebuilding.

Strong trigger warning for this book but worth it if you can get through the difficult material.
