I read it from beginning to end in one session simply because I could not put it down. Beautifully written, with great tenderness and love.

The work is unique for so many reasons. To say that it is deeply moving is an understatement. There emerged a beauty that seemed to transcend grief.

You have put it together beautifully. There is something noble and sublime in this story. Your book is like a lamp shining as a beacon. Uplifting, a beautiful book.
