Book Review: Stories That Bind Us
Stories That Bind Us
by Susie Finkbeiner
This is a beautifully written story of a family’s love and help
through hard times. Betty never thought she would be a widowed at the age of 40. After the death of
her husband Betty Sweet was trying to begin her life again with the help of her husband’s family. After
not seeing her sister for several years her sister shows up at her door with a child in tow. Betty tries to
help her sister, Clara, and Hugo through their hard times amid her own troubles.
Betty finds herself taking on the care of her five-year-old nephew, Hugo. Betty wins Hugo’s trust with
stories she shares with him. Some made up from places she has been, and some handed down from
what her mother had told her as a young child. Betty and her deceased husband’s family work at
helping Hugo with all the adjustments he needs to make. It is the story of the love of a family for each
other and all the obstacles they need to overcome.
I highly recommend the book.
