Threads of Us: A Novel by Christie Havey Smith
4.0
emotional inspiring medium-paced

This is a beautiful journey that delves into how people can process grief of all kinds.

Gracie lost her dad before the dance performance of her life and had to be left wondering what he wanted to tell her. She buries her grief inside her and has a hard time letting people in.

Griffin is living in his grief of his wife divorcing him and his mom with dementia not knowing him anymore though he visits every day. He also has this one mistake hanging over his head by the town and a beloved structure and an accident. 

Gracie and Griffin journey to Canada to find out what her dad wanted her to know. It comes as a shock what she finds, but it's also beautiful and healing. These two will help each other in ways they learn about while on this journey together and they in turn will help strangers that become friends/found family.
