I normally have difficulty reading more than 10 pages, but this book carried the core of me to its end in just one sitting. As I flipped the final page, I yearned for more. The yearning was more than just to read her stories filled with that wit and wisdom... but deep down to continue embracing a precious 4-year-old, who felt abandoned in that moment she picked glasses off her driveway, to unconditionally love her throughout each dark night of the soul.
