Wonder of wonders - I am an Old Man but, by the grace of Aslan, hope to one day be a New Man. Well done Shawn.

What a wonderful journey you took me on. I'm sorry for it to end but feel lighter having read the ending. You're line of Here is Here has resonated with me and I plan to take it with me into 2026. Thank you for this special and ordinary depiction of such an important story.

The ending does leave me wanting more so I would love a sequel. The "rest" of the story. Looking forward to more like this one, chapter by chapter release. Keeps me hanging on for more.

Thank you so much for sharing this book with us! I’m so curious about what happened to her husband and son-in-law and what happened to Stanley…but that’s what imaginations are for 😉
