It's a beautiful story that was sad & heart breaking but also gave me positive energy & hope. As I was reading other people's comments, I realized this book was written based on the true story. I commend HANA to be so strong & handling this very difficult situation so well. Losing her mom in such a young age is incredibly hard but she is so mature beyond her age where she cares about a well being of her father....I don't know if I could do that when I was her age.... I hope HANA & her dad will continue this ritual, having the miso soup together in the morning & remain close & be supportive of each other for many years.
