This was totally different from her previous book and was just as good. The characters were lovely people, Dana had some issues but in all fairness who wouldn’t when their whole family was wiped out in one tragic accident. When the final person of her family, her aunt Irma passes away Dana has to grow up and start making decisions about the old farm Chokecherry where she grew up.
She literally bumps into Stu and they form a fantastic friendship, and a dog named Slim who she adopts.
I seem to have ‘got’ Danas’ personality maybe because I know people with mental illnesses and have to ‘get’ them. Dana didn’t seem all that bad to me, she knew how to get herself out of that hole which was threatening to pull her in and she had a fantastic talent which she learns how she got it later in the book.
I really enjoyed reading this, it was different from anything I have read before and it kept me captured. It must have been my fastest reading ever as I didn’t want to miss anything and even though I have finished the book I still keep thinking about it which is great.
Another fantastic book from Sheri Meshal, I hope to read more from this talented author.
