This book brought back all kinds of memories for me - good & bad. And at the same time, so many biblical verses & words from hymns came to memory as I got further into the book. I took from it so many resemblances from The Lords Prayer & Psalms 23 that it was very healing and comforting.<br /><br />Although Jenny has Cancer in this book, it didn't focus as much on cancer, but more about LIVING and being a catalyst for change in your life while leaving your mark that you exist. Even the simplest life can have a remarkable affect on another's life for today and years to come.<br /><br />This book had me in tears in one chapter and then brings you out of the tears to laughter in the next. Even though you pretty much can figure out the ending, you don't want to miss the challenges and how each one is handled by the characters. Jenny & Isabella are strong characters - catalysts for change for the families they touch. As the end nears, you see changes & healing in each character. It also creates a peaceful, comforting end which one can only hope finds when life's journey ends.<br /><br />Death is inevitable for each of us; its the journey & faith along the way that matters.Pattynoreply@blogger.com
