April 11, 2005: This book was slow at first. I think it had to share some background information to help the reader understand the family and its circumstances. This book has several thought provoking passages that explained life situations that I particularly enjoyed. The comparison of death and a train ride, the idea that some knowledge is to heavy for children to carry, and the analogy of the fleas and being grateful in all circumstances. This book will give you hope, and reason to realize that maybe your life isn't so tough after all. A little kindness and compassion can go a long way even in the coldest of hearts.
