To say this book is a masterpiece is an understatement of epic proportions. It is beautifully crafted with exquisite prose and rich characters. Even after 450 pages, I wasn’t ready for this tale to end. 

Early on, it was evident that this book would become one of my very favorites. And after finishing it, I’d go so far as to say it should absolutely be in contention as one of the great American novels. It captivated every part of my heart and soul in a way few authors have the talent to do, and it transported me on a beautiful journey through brokenness and hope. 

I am not normally one for overly flowery praise, especially without some measure of constructive feedback. But this profound and poignant book cannot be praised highly enough in my opinion. My heart has been forever changed by this tale of these wounded yet courageous vagabonds.
