she holds on to hope slightly more than six years ago I read Lily Brooks Dalton's good morning
midnight one of those books that quietly seep into your heart and soul and is so beautifully written
so when I saw this one I knew I wanted to read it this one stole both my heart and soul completely
I found the same sense of quiet isolation that same sense of Serenity despite the chaos
as well as the author's ability to pull me into this story completely I really recommend
this book a beautifully shared powerful story and if you really want to read this book you
