I had just finished, "Murmur of the Bees", and it took me awhile to get my head out of that book and into, "Where the Forest Meets the Stars"! Once I did though this book really grabbed my heart and held it fast! Having gone through my own darkness with cancer and a series of family tragedies, this was a wonderful read! Very healing for me and I absolutely loved this book. The tears in this book became, My Tears, their healing helped me to see good, in the darkest places!
