I loved Binny. She’s brave, hopeful, and strong. Plagued by three family deaths and she still sees light and happiness in adventures and story telling. She deals with trauma and loss as does the rest of her family and they really find themselves in the inherited house they move into. A great well rounded character and so are her family members – Clem, James, and her mother – and the neighbors as well as other secondary characters. Friendship comes a long way. Everything is so vivid and I would have loved picking this book up when I was a kid.
“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.”
“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
