Omigoodness… I LOVED IT! What a great story! The chapter about Ed’s death made me cry, probably because I have heard the story from my grandma, but never in such detail. Same with Chalk, now that I think about it… Reading the book was seriously like going back home and hearing the old stories from the locals. And now I kind of understand all the times my grandma has told me how much I am like her dad and his brothers.
I was thinking of letting my grandma have the book when I was done with it, but now I’m considering just ordering her another copy. Because I may want to read it again.
