It’s less than 100 pages and the audiobook was incredibly cute. The book is short so you’ll get some instant gratification when you finish it and the story is written so well you’ll want to read another book to keep living in other lives.

I listened to this book because I saw it recommended on youtube, a small book that packs a punch. A girl is fostered by an extremely caring and wholesome family, the Kinsellas, while back home her struggling mother is giving birth to yet another child, piling on top of her existing struggles. It doesn’t take much time for the girl to adjust to the idyllic Irish farmgirl lifestyle, helping to fetch the water, racing to beat her own time fetching the mail, and accompanying the Kinsellas to church and get togethers. Hidden somewhere behind all the idealism is a secret, carefully revealed – making the characters both extra lovable and heartbreaking.The book isn’t much of a commitment at sub 100 pages, and it sticks around in your mind forever.

Had me in tears on my red eye flight this morning!
A small girl is sent to live with foster parents on a farm in rural Ireland, without knowing when she will return home. In the strangers' house, she finds a warmth and affection she has not known before and slowly begins to blossom in their care.
It is a quiet novella (and only 88 pages) but there is so much life and tenderness in the small details. Immediate re-read.

No better compliment for me than someone taking seconds (and thirds 😍) from a meal I cook.

When I was 25 I felt so old, like oh god a quarter of a century!!!! Then me at 28 looking back at 25 y/o me I though oh god she was a baby! So now I realise I’m going to keep getting older so the age I am is the youngest I’ll be moving forward.
I’m now 33 and I feel the same as I’ve felt my whole life. All these years have only made me more experienced at life. Youth is overrated if you take care of yourself. Stop smoking, move more, eat better, manage stress, use sunscreen and tretinoin.

I know I know, but I read this book for the first time quite recently and it’s changed my perspective, I’ve heard of her method but actually reading her book and her explanations really brought the point home. Also Rajiv Surendra on YouTube makes me really think about what I should bring into my home.
