my take: First off, I read this in Costa Rica, so understand that in the happiest place on earth, everything is wonderful.
Secondly, I was reading Barbara Brown Taylor’s An Altar in the World concurrently, so my immediate frame of reference was the spirituality of earthly things, which made the book a certain kind of meaningful that I wouldn’t have picked up on during beach reading.
The writing is easy and casual, by a midwest girl with midwestern sensibilities. There’s lots about marriage, animal welfare, and blessings.
And worth a read.

Glad you liked. My bookclub picked it because we have a lot of animal lovers (a couple work with animal rescue shelters), but I have to say it was a fairly short discussion. I considered it mostly a pleasure read (and enjoyed it), but it's interesting to hear what you got out of it additionally…
