The story of your life never starts at the beginning. Don't they teach you anything at school?

So says 104-year-old Ona to the 11-year-old boy who's been sent to help her out every Saturday morning. As he refills the bird feeders and tidies the garden shed, Ona tells him about her long life, from first love to second chances. Soon she's confessing secrets she has kept hidden for decades.

One Saturday, the boy doesn't show up. Ona starts to think he's not so special after all, but then his father arrives on her doorstep, determined to finish his son's good deed. The boy's mother is not so far behind. Ona is set to discover that the world can surprise us at any age, and that sometimes sharing a loss is the only way to find ourselves again.

​"Poignant ... There is much to enjoy in this heartfelt tale of love, loss, and friendship."--Express

Lovely book, tons of information and well organized
Format: Hardcover
This book has a cute retro feel to it, like something from the 70s or 80s that might have been lingering in the school library when I was a kid. Covers a number of different historical routes, broken down by starting point, with different lengths and duration. Each route is broken into managable chunks, with highlights on local foods and culture and sights to see along the way. Good information to help with planning- they do not recommend specific hotels/lodgings (such information could be quickly outdated) but do suggest which towns to stay in and whether or not you need to book there well in advance. They also call out some restaurants by name, well known for local specialties. In all, a very nice resource for anyone planning a pilgrimage and wanting to compare the different routes and learn more about the history.

Perfect size for me
Color: Light Color Series, Style: Waffle Pattern, Color: Light Color Series, Style: Waffle Pattern
Washed the cloths before use with just detergent. Pretty much stayed it shape and fluffy texture. It lathers well with any soap and drys fast. Love the texture size more than the exfoliating size. Texture side is great for sensitive face cleaning. The exfoliating side did soften after repeated use. I feel it is still little to rough for the face, but great for the body.

Great quality
Color: Light Color Series, Style: Waffle Pattern
These are a bit oversized compared to regular washcloths but that makes it easier when exfoliating your own back. The one side is soft and plush. They are easy to wring out. They wash up nicely. I use a linen bag when washing them but it's not necessary.
