Sad truths, epic.

So much unrequited love kept that way by ridiculous social norms of narrow thinking. This story is so full of love that couldn’t be fulfilled, for if they’d tried it would have been worse then it was left alone.
So very well put.

Slide into grace!

One of the best modern Christmas books I've ever read . It all started with a snowy sled ride that created a life long living friendship in a time of great racial divide. It's a poignant travel log through the 60s and on to 2003. This book is a Christmas classic in the making.
