Why read it?

1 author picked Although the Day is Not Mine to Give, I'll Show You the Morning Sun as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book sat on my parent's bookshelf when I was a child, and I would sporadically remove it and read it at various stages of my life. As an adult, I returned to it when I had three kids of my own. It reminds me how important family is and how fleeting childhood is. Angela learns this the hard way in my own book, and I pictured her reading this book after her children had been stolen from her. As I was writing, it always left me in tears.
