Stories that Bind Us

Betty Sweet never expected to be a widow at 40. With so much life still in front of her, she tries to figure out what's next. She couldn't have imagined what God had in mind. When her estranged sister is committed to a sanitarium, Betty finds herself taking on the care of a 5-year-old nephew she never knew she had.

In 1960s LaFontaine, Michigan, they make an odd pair. Betty with her pink button nose and bouffant hair. Hugo with his light brown skin and large brown eyes. But more powerful than what makes them different is what they share: the heartache of an empty space in their lives. Slowly, they will learn to trust one another as they discover common ground and healing through the magic of storytelling.

Award-winning author Susie Finkbeiner offers fans a novel that invites us to rediscover the power of story to open the doors of our hearts.

Not the best

Struggled to finish. Too many small underdeveloped story lines. Not a fan of the stories she told Hugo

I wondered how the story would unfold.

Really loved this tender story of relationship and commitment. It had the perfect ending.

Deeply moving

Deeply moving and thought-provoking. A truly beautiful journey through sensitive issue and uncertain times.
