during the Santa Ana’s. Daniels grief is intense and he blames himself for not
being there and thinks all of their friends and family does as well. Depression
really sets in and Daniel decides to disappear and try to make the pain and
guilt go away.
Review:
I really enjoyed this book it is sweet story but it will definitely
pull at your heart strings following the path with Daniel to his new life. The
author really paints the picture very well, and made feel as I was right alongside
Daniel the entire time. The only thing that bothered me was the ongoing tragedy
and how it felt like Daniel just couldn't catch a break sometimes and how he
never really forgave himself of what happened to his family, even after he mad
leaps and bounds towards a new life without them.
Overall I would give these 4 out of 5 stars.
