About the author:
Chelsea grew up with an immense love for words---both reading them and writing them. She obtained her degree in English and has spent the time since then getting married to her high school sweetheart and chasing adventure so she'll have something to write about. When she's not drinking copious amounts of coffee while writing, she spends her time reading, playing with her puppy named Gatsby, and dreaming, always dreaming.
My Review:
I really enjoyed this book, it is a journey of self-discovery, working through grief and trying to find happiness, real happiness in life. This is a quick summery read, light at times and yet soul searching as it addresses thoughts and feelings working through grief and coping with the death of one's mother. The story line was sweet with Avery discovering the travel plans made by her mother and the journal as this was another chance for Avery to be connected with her mother. This is an excellent story that will remind the reader to treasure life and each moment that we are given with our loved ones.
