When the Cranes Fly South introduces you to an unforgettable character, Bo, and to his life's story, family, human and animal friends, both traumatic and treasured. I especially liked the writer's style that mixes Bo's current thoughts with his memories. I found it to be a very believable way of relating his cognitive decline while sharing his life's experiences and relationships in a thoughtful, candid way.

Any reader who has dealt with the challenging family decisions as a beloved friend or family member ages can relate to this story. Any reader who has had a beloved pet can relate. Any reader who loves a well developed character can relate. Any reader who as the executive editor of the book wrote appreciates a "feel good tear jerker" will be glad they found this book.
