This is a gently told story, with a lovely, descriptive writing style, that pulls you into the lives of three main characters who grow together, as they deal with difficult pasts and family situations. It's a wonderful story of imperfect people, who with God's help and support from each other, are able to overcome, especially when a tragic event involves them all. It requires some patience to get into, as it's not a fast moving tale, but you'll be glad you didn't quit.
Loved the character Kiki, who is an adorable, highly functional autistic tween. She brings so much life to the story. Found myself pulling for Gideon, as he is a shy, wonderful man with a great need to forgive, and is very hard on himself; easy for me to relate to his struggles. Enjoyed the budding friendship he has with Mari, who is very sweet.
If you're ready to sit for awhile, and read an unhurried, interesting story, that will leave you smiling in the end, make some time for this book--a worthy read. Recommend! 4.5 stars
