This sounds like a beautiful tribute to the woman he loved. The author clearly loved Mary Ann Lesin very much and did a great job of expressing that in this memoir. Thanks for the review!

What a well-written review, Sam. I love how thoroughly you explain it, as well as your description of the characters. I'm not the biggest fan of memoirs, but I may might just give this one a try.

Thank you for sharing your review with us. I am always keen on reading an emotional book with a loving mother figure as it reminds me of my own dearest departed mother.

Seemingly a tragic story, but easy to appreciate the value of having visual memories of a mother.

The review depicts a beautiful, emotional and real story. I love stories that are not only enjoyable but also relatable to the reader.
I'm extremely curious to find out what happened to Mary Ann Lesin.

I would love to read a love story. I love to know how people fall in love and how their relationship works from there. Was it happily ever after or just the other way around. I would love to read the book. It's a great review.

I love how concise and straightforward this review is. I agree with the author—family is second to none when it comes to things that matter. Congrats on BOTD!

Considering the themes, this is definitely a heartfelt story. Some humour along with descriptive storytelling makes the read even more engaging. Thank you for the great analysis.

It’s always nice to see a sweet—if tragic—book written in memory of a loved one. It’s a great way to keep their memory alive and to show others that this kind of love is, in fact, achievable and that even if you lose it, it’s better that you had it and lost it than never did. Thank you for the helpful review.

Well said, I just know that I want to read a good book with great humor. A family story would occasionally be boring, but this is different. Congrats to the book of the day.
