If there's one book that can reach deep down into your soul, make you weep and make you thankful for every blessed thing in your life, it's BETWEEN SHADES OF GRAY. It's a story about family and the spirit of community. At 15, Lina is such an amazing person. I don't know if I would have the strength to keep moving, keep living in a situation that dire, but she does, and she does it with grace.
This week's muse is Together We Cry by The Script.
Wow! I love this song!! And this book sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing both.
ReplyDeletethis song gives me goosebumpbs.
DeleteYou've got my curiosity piqued about Lina's "dire" circumstances. I'd like to read this one! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou HAVE to. PLUS, it's based off of true history!
DeleteI have to come back later to listen to this because my daughter is sick and asleep next to me, but the book sounds good.
ReplyDeleteHope she feels better. My little one is sick too.
DeleteI love The Script. I'll have to check this book out. Thanks for sharing.

DeleteHa, at first I thought the book was a sort of sequel to Shades of Gray. Good song.

DeleteI love books like that.. make you slow down and appreciate what you have no matter how small. Thanks for sharing!
