I am drawing a dotted line across our globe, starting from home, here, out along what I imagine is your path. Etta takes Russell cinnamon buns, Etta reminds Otto to wear his hat in the sun, Otto and Russell help each other on their farms. Russell waits outside his own farmhouse every morning before sunrise and every evening before sunset in the hopes of spotting some deer. Their next door neighbor, Russell, has known Otto since they were both six years old and he is an integral part of both Otto and Etta's lives. She lives on a farm in Saskatchewan with her husband, Otto.
All 3,232 kilometers it will take her to get to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
She has never seen the ocean and she is going to change that before it's too late. I will try to remember to come back.Įtta will be 83 in August. I've never seen the water, so I've gone there. I even made a (rough) map of her journey and included excerpts to ignite your interest in this unique and special tale. I happened upon an advanced reader's copy of this book, and I am going to really do my darnedest to convince anyone who is reading this review to give this book a shot because it is now one of my favorites ever.
