The book has resonated with readers across generations for its themes of love, loss, hope, forgiveness, and spiritual strength. Crowe said she wanted to write something uplifting and emotional, yet accessible to both teenagers and adults.

“Readers have said they are books they'd recommend to their niece or grandmother,” Crowe said.
