Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul.

Not his best
Reviewed: 02-21-21
The Oregon Files is my favorite series out of all Clive Cussler's books. I listened to a few books that were later in the series but have decided to listen to the series from beginning to the end. The narrator really tried but some of his accents were very strange and boarderline offensive. As a Chinese native, I would rather him not trying to do Chinese accents. Also, I had a hard time following all the story lines as there were so many characters in the story. I will keep going on the series though as I know that it will get better.

I have PTSD from childhood abuse. I had dealt with a big chunk of it through spiritually and counseling but there were a few areas that I had accepted that I could never overcome but through this book I did.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 16
Perfection is the enemy of parenting. Jim Daly sees and hears from mothers and fathers trying hard to pursue perfection. They listen to the best experts and read all the right books. When someone gives them a "World's Best Mom" or "Number One Dad" coffee mug, they want it to be true. And they want their children to pursue perfection, too. It's admirable for parents to be the very best moms and dads they can be for their children. But sometimes in so doing, they leave grace behind - both for themselves and for their children.
