Customer Reviews

A lovely parting gift
The first fall after my youngest graduated from high school, and with my oldest married and already moved away, I gave them each this book as I packed up my "empty nest" and moved half a continent away. While I don't buy into all of the metaphors Bach uses, he does use them well. We had a wonderful loving moment as I read my (now adult) children a new story as we began life in different states. Evangelical Christians will find fault with the book, as with most of Richard Bach's metaphors, but it is a lovely image of togetherness across miles.

Beautiful book and story to match
Drawn in by H. Lee Shapiro's artwork and Richard Bach's writing, this book holds a special place in my heart. I came across it after I moved away from "home", and since then it has become a meaningful and inspiring gift for friends who live long distances away.

Very good book
It's always a pleasure to read and read again this book, and share it with friends
