Missing Is Missing Nothing!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
What can I saw about this book that has not already been said? I am just a normal average everyday college student, okay, so I am a non traditional student. I see this book not only as heart warming and realistic, but as SUPERB! Michelle Herman does a fantastic job in her expressions with the grandmother as well as with the granddaughter. I felt as if I knew these people and that these people were a part of my family. Michelle has a collection of novellas out as well that I think you should read! A New Glorious Life, and be sure to check out her husband's paintings at Fischbach Galleries in New York or at glenholland.com. Wonderful. These two are truly talented. And yes, I am a bit biast--He's my brother and she is his wife, but I do know what I like to read and what I don't like to read. My parents taught me to always be honest, and I am being honest. I give Michelle's book at 4 star rating!!
A Tale Both Charming and Moving

This is the story of Rivke Vasilevsky who is eighty nine years old. Rivke has lost a possession she values highly and she is concerned because she believes that it has been stolen. She cannot understand her family's indifference to her loss and, as she continues her searching inquiry, she reveals as much as she discovers. A wonderful story told with great delicacy and compassion.
