I received Without Tess by Marcella Pixley from Netgalley.com and was very excited! Then
I received a few other books and kind of forgot about it. Flashier
covers and exciting-sounding titles kept getting in the way. But I
finally, FINALLY took the time to read this book. I was
disappointed....in myself...for not reading it sooner! This book amazes
me. I simultaneously feel the uncertain fear and the hopeful joy that
Lizzie bounces between and have no trouble imagining a childhood so full
of dreams, experiences, and heartaches.
Anyone who has ever
hidden in a box and truly believed that it could take you to the moon
will connect with this emotional rollercoaster as Lizzie tries to
understand and come to grips with some very difficult experiences and
memories.
