I first read this book several years ago and then passed it on to my mother who read it several times. The book is so beautiful I asked my mother if I could read it again which I did. I fell in love with it all over again. So instead of giving my mother the book back I hunted high and low for another copy and was able to find one here. So now we both have a copy and we can read this book over and over. It's very well written, a very easy read.
