"...amazing and breathtakingly beautiful. It's an experience."That's exactly how I feel about this book. It should come with a warning though - Do not read on your lunch break!! Ten pages in and I was crying like a baby! Even now, just thinking about the story, I'm getting teary-eyed. But my heart is also SO happy and I'm smiling through the tears.I felt so many emotions when reading Always There...but above all, it was LOVE and HOPE. Always There is beautifully-written; weaving the story together from two different POVs and imparting an amazing message. I found myself laughing out loud several times at Shelby's inner commentary on life, such as when she took her niece to a movie and got her ears pierced. Perfect aunt right there!I loved how there were so many parallels drawn throughout the story and in such a subtle way that it all felt `right' as they all unfolded. I know this is a book I will carry with me for a very long time. Thank you, Carol, for sharing it. I'm going to go hug my mom and dad and the rest of my family now! xoARC provided by the author for an honest reviewFor this and reviews like it, visit [...]
