Dear Kim Fielding,

Thank you for writing such a good book that can have 1 person convey many many emotions.

Sincerely, Mare

As a reader I love books that make me feel. And I really love angst. I love to cry at the hands of my e-reader. I love to feel numb. I love to look up and see that the sun is shining and everyone else is going about their day. I get shocked to realize that they don’t feel how I feel. And truth be told it upsets me. Because I look at these people, the ones going about their business and I want to stop them and say READ THIS. READ IT!

These overwhelming emotions is what I live for. I’m the type that will bury my head in the sand when it comes to angst in my own life. But search high and low for it in books.

This story is 2 fold. The past and the present and then at the end a glimpse into the future.

The past is hauntingly sad.

The present is humorous and heart felt.

The future is bright.

The 2 William’s. What they both went through to “fix” their homosexuality makes me cringe, and makes me want to crawl up into a ball and cry. It makes me angry. I’m a mother. If either of my children told me they liked the same sex I would hug them, kiss them, and plan their weddings. They are MY babies. They came from ME. The one blessing, the most unconditional love to ever be given is between a mother and her child. The bond that are formed when they are still growing in your belly, is a bond that NO ONE should ever be able to break.

So to the mom’s in this book. A big old F You.

Brody~ I liked you. Sometimes. I’m really not sure why you had to play the cards you did for a while there but in the end you seemed to redeem yourself to me.

Johnny~ I HATE YOU.

I wish that we could have gotten something from Johnny. Something. Just a tidbit. Cause William loved you for years. YEARS. WHERE WERE YOU???????

The ending of this book just made me smile. Big Big smile. And in a way sad that my journey with The Tin Box was over.
