    ““Kinsella takes my hand in his. As soon as he takes it, I realise my father has never once held my hand, and some part of me wants Kinsella to let me go so I won't have to feel this. It's a hard feeling but as we walk along I begin to settle and let the difference between my life at home and the one I have here be. He takes shorter steps so we can walk in time.””

    “This novella puts you back in the mind of a child. You don’t know who is who or why they are the way they are. But you learn. This is a one sitting read. It had me thinking about some of my childhood memories and adult relationships, but with a little more insight than I’d had prior.”
