August 9 (11:30 pm):A part of me is missing. I’ll never know my mom.The world sucks. And sometimes I just want out.The Girl.The Gardener.The Reader.A story of hope in the midst of despair.Thoughts of death in the midst of life.A story of reality in the midst of fiction.For fourteen years, The Girl has been shuffled from one foster home to another, hoping for a forever family that never happens. But her newest home has something none of the others have had: a friend, an older man she calls The Gardener, with whom she occasionally sneaks out for some late-night snacks and other harmless escapades. Their latest excursion, however, delivers much more than a white chocolate mocha and an order of chili cheese fries; what they discover at the house of a recently deceased neighbor sends the duo on a life-changing journey.
Reader Reviews
I liked this book, I just didn't like aspects of this book. I didn't see the need for the story within the story; it was tangentially connected and I could see the connection being completed post-reading, but it didn't really connect during the reading so to me, there was no reason for it. The primary purpose that I could see that the story within the story served was dealt with in a different way, over the last few pages, so again, the Reader part belonged, just not her "story." I understand he
Beautiful Book!I don't know of any book I have ever read that made me cry so much! But it was such a beautiful story with very memorable characters. An amazing author to be sure!
InterestingI had mixed feelings about the storyline of this book, the emotions and feelings it conjured were deep and raw and very very sad.
