A joyous, heart-breaking story. This book could have been an absolute disaster. It is filled with all kinds of weird events, happy accidents, wild coincidences. Basically, the plot is nearly impossible. But we swallow it easily because the characters are what matter. There is a strong cast of complex, believable characters. Each major character has some degree of growth, some truth they have to face. The pacing is strong with enough action to keep the reader engaged and enough emotion and reflection for it to matter. It reminded me somewhat of the book Big Rig by Louise Hawes. They share a lot of the same bones. It was well narrated with a pleasant voice. Overall, two thumbs up from me.
