It saddens me to say that i finally finished this book, i kinda never wanted it to end as it felt like a safe space for me to run to when i needed guidance from papa Landon or to be inspired and hang out with betty as she writes these beautiful stories about her family and their secrets.
The way the Cherokee wisdom bled through these pages and jumped out at me, it was hard for me to not be sucked into this world, it was hard for me to not view the world around me through the eyes of papa Landon and Betty. Honestly it was so beautiful i had to force myself to not read this book in one sitting no matter how long it took me.
This book was my companion every night for a few weeks as i read before i went to sleep, it also travelled with my to Albania and Lisbon where i managed to write a few poems inspired by the cherokee outlook on life. It was my pleasure being part of bettys family and her life through this story, ive never felt so close to a character in my life and really loved papa landon as a person.
If you guys ever get a chance please read this book as it has given me a chance to feel human in ways i could have never imagined

Ugh it was on a really long wait at the library, it was finally my turn but I had too many books so I booted it. Hopefully I get it back quickly
Same. I tried to out it down with 100 pages left because I didn’t want it to end. That lasted about 10 minutes. I can’t see a scenario where it isn’t in the top 3 of the 200 books I read this year.
