Later, in A Night at Old Webb an unexpected package leads to a story about a college-aged Kevin and a bit of encouragement he received to follow his dreams.
The first story is more somber. The second is more uplifting, Both are beautifully written and stir up a wealth of emotion. If you're in the mood for a book that has all the feels. to raise a smile and a tear, this is it.
I received a complimentary copy under no obligation to write a review.
