Reviews

I really enjoyed this book. It feels like Gloria is sitting across the table telling you these stories herself. Some made me laugh, some made me stop and think. The family stories were my favorite.

As someone who enjoys birding, I liked those parts right away. But honestly, the family stories pulled me in more than I expected! There’s humor all through the book, even when life was not easy.

This brought back memories of my own family. The little things, the trips, the pets, the crazy situations… thats what made it feel real. I smiled quite a few times while reading it.

Gloria has a wonderful way of remembering people. You can tell she cares deeply about her family, but she doesn’t make everything sound perfect. And I liked that, it felt honest.
