Placemaker

I was given a copy of this book by Handlebar in exchange for an honest review.  

I give this book a four star.  Because it took me a while to get into the rhythm to find that reason why I have to finish the book.  Some books you read the introduction and you continue reading because you want to know how the characters end up being.  This one is more of an autobiography about Christie and her life journey.

This book describes the places Christie Purifoy and her family lived through the years and how they try to make every place their home.  How every move brings them closer to the ultimate place where they finally belong and decide to pour all their money, time and energy to make into the home they wanted.  You will learn a lot about trees, plants and flowers throughout most of the book.

Here are some lines I would like to share from the book:

"A home is a place to make and a place that might make or unmake you."

"Many of us long to put down roots in some particular place, but we guard ourselves against heartbreak by waiting for the perfect place."

"Perhaps that is precisely where the power lies; not in the choosing but in learning how best to live with our choice."
