Approaching the end of her life, Alice Mayes, notorious caretaker of the anomaly known as The Garden of Sunray, is eager to tie up one last loose end before moving on. The last loose end. For decades, she’s been dreaming of finding someone to share her secret with, someone worthy of her truth, and in 20-year-old Emily Newell, she thinks she finally has.

On a momentous stroll through her massive garden with her young friend, Alice delves back into the past, back to those five horrific, mind-bending days in the summer of 1944, when she was 16, and for the first time in more than 75 years, gives voice to her role in the Nazi prisoner internment camp tragedy that befell the small town of Sunray, Texas. In revealing all she witnessed, confessing all she did, she hopes to pass on a wondrous legacy as well as validate and honor the mysterious man she knew as Karl Wagner.

I don’t say this lightly, this book was the closest thing to Boy’s Life I have ever read when it comes to a coming of age classic. I love coming of age books, but mostly horror related. Don’t get me wrong, there are some horror elements sprinkled in this book throughout, how can escapes Nazi soldiers hiding in a small TX town NOT be terrifying? But this book is so much deeper than any horror elements. The characters are memorable, the town so recognizable that I felt I was there. There are a few specific scenes that really got my heart pounding, and I love how Hepler took some plot points in an unexpected turn. I can’t recommend this book enough. It’s incredible.

A beautiful coming of age tale!

Obviously, from the reviews, the majority of people love this book. Not sure why, but I found myself getting bored and skipping some parts just to get to the next chapter. I did not buy into the fantasy ending. Perhaps, because this book has been compared to Boys Life I ordered it. Trust me, this in not on the same par, and maybe that is why I was disappointed.

Parts of the story were dull to me
