Welcome Back!
Have you ever had one of those days where you do nothing “productive” or just needed some time to relax…on purpose. I just had one of those days. It basically went like this:
Got the boys off to school.
Had coffee.
Started reading.
Napped.
Got up and ate some lunch.
Started Reading
Napped.
That was it.
The great thing was that I got two naps! (Mus have needed some rest!)
The next thing, was that I finished a really good read.
We are All Made of Stars by Rowan Coleman
Stella Carey has good reason to only work nights at the hospice where she is a nurse. Married to a war veteran who has returned from Afghanistan brutally injured, Stella leaves the house each night as her husband Vincent, locks himself away, unable to sleep due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
During her nights at the hospice, Stella writes letters for her patients containing their final wishes, thoughts and feelings – from how to use a washing machine, to advice on how to be a good parent – and usually she delivers each letter to the recipient after he or she has died.
That is until Stella writes one letter that she feels compelled to deliver in time to give her patient one final chance of redemption…
I loved this book. I read it in three days. I enjoyed the stories of each of the main characters and I really liked reading the letters Stella wrote for her patients, which are between each chapter. I don’t want to say more because it would ruin the story for you. Great read!!
I would give this a 5 out of 5 stars.
(I am a sucker for a good love story!)
I need to have some of your days
