{It Was a Secret and Lovely Place}

Bruce recently gave Scott and I this book in preparation for our Florida trip. I can't believe I had never read it before. I think I vaguely associated it with an annoying kid and an old, seemingly in memory, orange, movie.

I loved reading it now though.

I was so moved by it. The writing is earthy and real, the characters complex. It broke my heart a little, but then again most of my favorite books do.
