    The reader gets an in-depth understanding of how David, a young male teacher, feels about his own family and the extent to which he wants to recreate a family unit with the one he loves. Engaging the reader in the emotional journey that David encounters, the author creates authentic, atmospheric scenes drawing in nostalgia, excitement, bewilderment, loss, and enduring desire, love, and adoration. The author opens the story with an effectively crafted time hop from beginning to end to narrate the events between one funeral and the next. The book provides an unpredictable storyline with elements of familiarity and fantasy woven into a tasteful tapestry of love and attraction.
