Stories That Bind Us by Susie Finkbeiner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A beautiful story of how relationships have the power to heal.
When Betty Sweet loses her husband, she loses some of her passion and purpose in the world. But when her sister shows up with a child Betty has never met, purpose returns as Betty cares for the both of them.
Betty and her nephew Hugo heal something in each other in the quiet, ordinary days of their life in 1960s Michigan. This is what I love about Finkbeiner’s storytelling: it is gentle and tinted with dramatic moments that don’t overpower the story. She has a way of making the ordinary lives of her characters page-turning compelling. I couldn’t wait to see what happened next.
I received a free copy of the book in advance. Review reflects my honest opinion.
