Dove Champagne"But you might remember from Sunday school some of the stories of the Old Testament. God forgives us--and by doing that, God shows us how to forgive each other. Even more important, those of us who've been forgiven spend the rest of our lives trying to be worthy of that forgiveness."
From "Linked"
I have been reading your books since our Grade 5 teacher first read us "This Can't Be Happening at Macdonald Hall", but this is the first one of your books that brought me to tears and that I dog eared pages in because of the important messages this book shares about forgiveness, moving forward and upward in spite of our unworthiness of God's forgiveness (and from others, too), and being willing to do the work of becoming a better version of yourself--one who holds compassion for yourself and others.
Thank you for sharing this story with us. While I have many of your books that I hope my children will read and enjoy, Linked is one that I will be making sure my children read.
