Stay

Many thanks to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing, and Catherine Ryan Hyde for the opportunity to read and review her latest novel.  What can you say about her books other than they are so positive, life-affirming, make you want to live your better life kind of perfect?

The book takes place in the summer of 1969.  Lucas Painter struggles at home with parents who are constantly fighting and a brother who is in Vietnam.  His best friend, Connor, is struggling with his own family issues.  To get away from all the noise, Lucas begins running in the woods behind his house with a pair of dogs he discovers living with a woman in a cabin deep in the woods.  The connection he makes with the woman, Zoe, will change all of their lives.

This is one of those books that makes you think about the fact that each action we take can have a positive (or negative) impact on someone else and change the course of their lives.  Highly recommended!
