This was interesting to me that it was based on a real phone booth set up for the sole purpose of someone talking to their loved one and then others began using it and then it got turned into this story to share even further. I think that shows the staying power of this symbol of a way to stay connected with loved ones after they are physically gone. ( )

Oh my goodness, this book needs to be on people's reading lists when looking for books about death and bereavement. Inspired by a "wind phone (a glass paneled phone booth that houses an old rotary telephone--not hooked up to anything--but a place where people can come to express their grief.) this book is a beautiful story of how grief and loss impact generations. A child's mother, yes, but also a wife and someone's daughter.

The usage of yellow, the deceased's favorite color, serves as the conduit for peace, for growth, for beauty coming through the dark times. Oh my goodness I LOVED this book. ( )
