I read this first a long time ago when a now lost best friend suggested it to me. After all these years I read it again and this time I cried. This story will always be special to me. Emma is on my mind all the time, I'm going to buy this and hand it down to my grandchildren, telling them of the librarian with wild hair, tattoos and piercings. The only thing I truely regret in my life. Gone, but not forgotten. ❤️
