Review
This is a parallel story of two generations in two time periods, both living and dealing with powerful themes.
Many times, the story is heartwarming. There is also utter sadness when thinking of the past and things that happened. A story of years past, yet how it affects generations after.
he author's creativity and imagination, yet attention to detail and history shine through every page, making it an unforgettable journey from start to finish.
