Nancy Naigle is a new-to-me author, and I am happy to have discovered her with such a poignant story. She says by way of an introduction that this story is one that was birthed the year she lost her husband, but only recently was she able to bring the words to the page. It is a story of grief, of love, and of coming alongside one another to walk the path of grieving and to living. A, if not unlikely then unexpected, relationship develops between a young widow with two children and an octogenarian who has been widowed for some time, and who had no children, although she mothered many in the small town of Welk Island. Each bring special gifts needed by the other. Not only is this story an enjoyable read, but it inspires readers to look at their personal interactions with others and to seek ways to make them more meaningful as well as to be open to those unlikely and unexpected relationships.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this lovely book review. THE SHELL COLLECTOR holds a really special place in my heart. I hope it brings peace to others going through the loss of a loved one, and somehow prepares others to gracefully embrace the help of others and trust in faith when faced with that part of their journey. xoxo I really appreciate you sharing this with your friends.
