Why read it?
1 author picked Good to a Fault as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book by Canadian writer Marina Endicott is quirky in all the best ways—smart, tender, heart-wrenching, and quietly hopeful. It is about a lonely, divorced accountant who takes in a homeless family after crashing into their car.

Though the premise is quite simple, the book is full of surprises.
From Anne's list on looking for and finding refuge.
