A very moving and hopeful book. Although I had trouble with the concept of breaking all that beautiful china, I recognized the idea that not everything that looks beautiful and whole on the outside is actually so. That change, which holds within it the destruction of that which is, is necessary for new life and growth. That within sorrow are the seeds of hope.

Also, I'm glad that someone has written about the Leilani Lanes Bowling Alley in Seattle with the kind of feeling that Stephanie Kallos has. Leilani Lanes is closed, the Seattle Times reported on the recent auction of the interior fixtures, so it pleases me tremendously that this bowling alley will live on in this book.

Broken for You embraces many types of lifestyles, and even if I don't agree with every life style, I do agree with the embracing. The book has a nice laugh through your tears ending.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Released in Kalman's memory bookbox - 17th birthday remembering you!

I didn't plan to take this book to begin with. But when I tried to pack my replacement books, I couldn't fit them in. So I took it, and found that I could fit two smaller books in instead of the one.
In memory of Kalman

I found this book interesting for the most part. Some I couldn't quite grasp the whole idea of it. I could understand Margaret wanting to return the stolen items to the original owners. But why did she find it necessary to start smashing these priceless objects before she had even looked for the owners?

This book is one of the ones chosen at Kayjay33's memorial service. Hopefully it is picked up and enjoyed.
