This book was so amazing that I immediately ordered a copy for Melissa! She has started a little book club with Dawson, Coralett, and Gabe. Next they are reading Theo of Golden. Another great choice...
I loved this book so much. I'd heard a lot of hype about it, and it surpassed the hype, actually. My book club read it, and we ALL were so impressed by it and had a lot to say about it...the guilt Sybil felt, the way she grew and developed over time, the goodness in so many of the characters...
My own copy of it has not yet arrived, so I had to borrow a copy and read it in a day, which was okay, but I'm ready to read it again at a more reasonable pace. I really wanted to contribute to the conversation we were having about it in my Ridgeview ward book club, so I was happy I could to that. A delightful chat, for sure.
Both Shirla and I wondered if Sybil had had an understanding bishop or of the gospel, would she have had a different way of reacting to the tragedy of the death of her son? We all loved her relationship with the troubled young man in the story. It just reaffirmed my desire to do good in the world. And to reach out more to those I love...
I'm curious about how Melissa will respond to the thread of adoption in this story and how Sybil finally connects with her half-siblings...
