This was a book I found I couldn't put down. Clever, inspiring storyline. Creative use of language. Believable enough to get me in although I did wonder whether any of my daughter's 19 yr old friends would act on receiving a card in their mailbox. THe way the story unfolded, I'd like to think so!
My favorite book of all time...truly ! A through-the-night read. Powerful, beautiful, poignant; can't think of enough of the right words to do it justice. Unlikely heroes and locales, miracles in the barnyard, redemption, fierce familial love and faith, ultimate sacrifice, oh, yes, and a visionary in the form of an eccentric little girl (please, not another Dakota Fanning vehicle in the film version).
