I must say I
enjoyed the afterword as much, if not more, than the rest of the story. I wish the afterword was written as a foreword;
I believe I would have appreciated this novella more. I didn’t know what to
expect from this book. As I began to read it, I thought it was written for
children. In her afterword, she states “it is for adults because something was
needed for people like me who suddenly found themselves orphans in midlife
(pg.92).” She also explains that the
people she talks to along her search are actual neighbors that posed for the
book. The drawings are phenomenal and
very realistic. I loved them! I recommend this book, but strong urge readers to
read the afterword first.
