Here's Mine.
I remember as a child thinking it perfectly normal that complete strangers joined us for meals. Sometimes, we were surprised to see they were even wearing our clothes. Mum would invite passersby in for tea. Dad would pick up hitchhikers and bring them home for dinner; if they had been standing out in the rain, he'd give them a dry shirt. When the minister at church announced that a runaway teenager needed an adoptive home, Mum was the first to put up her hand.
This is my first non fiction for the year, and I'm struggling with it. They Left us Everything, is a memoir by Plum Johnson, a heartfelt story of what parents leave behind.

Sounds like an interesting but sad at times book. I hope you start liking it more as you keep reading.
Thank you for the wishes! :-)
The parents in the story sound like the kindest, most gentle souls on earth. Makes me want to read on.
I added you to the Linky. Happy weekend!
I don't know this book - it looks as though she had a very different childhood from mine. Not that my parents didn't help people because they did but not to that extent.
