From a fan: "As someone who has loved books since I learned to read as a kid, I wholeheartedly recommend this book. I have read countless books in my life, and one of the ways I judge a book is if it has me immersed right away. I always have a book with me on my long commute, and I read daily. However, since the beginning of the pandemic, I found it more and more difficult to sit and read a book. In my free time, I started watching a lot more TV, since it was easier to escape from reality into a fictional TV world, and I just couldn't seem to find a book that would hold my interest. I picked up a copy of The Journey by Bob Collins. Right from the Prologue I was hooked. This is a beautifully written story about loss, love, family, and being open to where life's journey can take you if you have an open mind and an open heart. It was hard for me to put the book down, because I wanted to know what happened next. I found myself slowing down a little at the end to savor the story, because I felt such a connection to the characters and I didn't want it to be over. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will recommend it friends, and to anyone who enjoys stories of what it truly means to be a family.
