The Sympathy of All Things is a touching and emotional book about love, life, and loss. Leah, the main character, learns quickly about loss as she ends her marriage and also loses the love of her life. She returns to the U.S. and chooses to live her life on her own terms. Despite the hardships Leah perseveres and eventually makes a good life for her and her daughters.This book is well written and the character development is very realistic. Leah is a strong person and that comes through clearly as we read about her black market dealings in the Philippines and her continual search for a career in the U.S. She continually does what she needs to do for her and her daughters never knowing what life will hand her in the end.I found this book to be light-hearted at times and gut-wrenching at other times. It is a love story and a life story that all women can relate to in some way. It is also a fictional story, but true to life in so many ways.Jill Dobbe, AuthorHERE WE ARE & THERE WE GO: Teaching and Traveling With Kids in Tow
