This was an absolutely heart gripping story. If you love warm and fuzzy books with characters that become like family, I recommend reading all three books about Arthur and friends. You will laugh, cry and learn about life and love.
Very sweet story, reminded me of A Man Called Ove in a way. Lonely widower Arthur goes to visit his wife Nola at the cemetery every day. One day he meets another lonely soul there, a high school girl, Maddy, with issues stemming from the fact her mother died right after her birth and her father had been indifferent to her all her life. The third person in this equation is lonely neighbor Lucille, also looking for a friend. So many emotions, this book just tugged at my heart!
