*I received a free e-copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*Wow! This book was nothing short of fantastic!Bishop Street is a heart-wrenching, tear jerking story of survival, friendship, and second chances. I haven't cried so much while reading a book since 'The Fault in our Stars' or 'Firefly Lane'. As a mother, the trips down memory lane really affected me at times. I just wanted to pull those 4 kids into a hug and keep them safe. The amount of emotions this book evokes in it's readers is astounding. I laughed. I cried. I cheered. I wanted to curl up in a ball and stay that way. But most of all, I just wanted to keep reading.The characters in Bishop Street were sheer perfection. I loved every one of them. Maggie was the epitome of strength when she decided to go in search of her friends with the help of Damon, the amazingly kind and hunky private detective turned friend. Randall was amazing and fun and humble. I loved reading about how he conquered his hellish childhood and turned it into a life he could really be proud of. Elizabeth and her family were so sweet and loving. And the way they all banded together to bring Lucy back from her life on the streets. Sweet, beautiful, broken Lucy. I think she was the strongest of them all. I even loved Denise. Her spunkiness made me laugh out loud at times.Bishop Street was a really great book. One that I won't soon forget. I'm going to recommend it to everyone I know. Along with a large box of tissues.
