Oh this book made me smile.
Oh this book made me happy.
Oh this book was flipping good.
Tinker bell haired Danika, a fairy hippie wood sprite, is the object of affection of soldier boy Trent Milner who happens to be the best friend of her little brother Degan. Degan the coco pop muncher. Warning I know I said fairy sprite but it is not paranormal, just throwing that out there in case you sue me for misdescriptions. Not paranormal, I repeat not paranormal.
Leslie McAdam has written a lovely story of deep friendship with the tragedy of loss; the happiness of love with the fear of reliance and the relief and peace in forgiveness. All of the elements of Sol fuse perfectly together.
I am a Trent cheerleader because he makes me think of Sunshine. He is the sweetest guy. So immodest. So thoughtful. So Sol! Long may he live in the Sunshine with his glass not half full but overflowing.
My absolute favourite quotes:
“Your denial is so deep you’d go a mile down deep into it and never see the bottom.”
“Dani, with light hair wild like a free form cloud on a blue summer’s day, held on to me.”
“Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. It’s self healing, self liberating, and self empowering. Without forgiveness, you are hopeless, helpless, and powerless. But with forgiveness, while you can’t change your past, you can change how you relate to it.”
That last quote is worthy of a 5 star rating alone because it is so, so true.
