A Lovely Read

Dreaming of Flight by Catherine Ryan Hyde

Eleven year old Stewie never knew his parents, he was a baby when they died, he and his brother Theo have been raised by their older sister Stacey. Stewie steadfastly and lovingly tends the chickens left by his beloved late grandmother. Every day he collects the freshly laid eggs and goes door to door selling them from his wagon. One of his new customers, Marilyn, is prickly and guarded, but he finds her company comfortable, she reminds the grieving Stewie so much of his grandmother, and the connection between them becomes the saving grace for both of them.

There is sadness but overall this is a beautiful, soothing story with lovely characters. Stewie is an  adorable, sweet little boy.
