Beautiful gift book with heartfelt stories

For those of you who are familiar with Margaret Becker's contemporary Christian music and/or her first book "With New Eyes", you won't need a review to convince you to get a copy of Maggie's latest book! This book falls into the "gift book" category and has 7 stories about sibling relationships. Margaret got the ideas for the stories in a unique way - she asked people to submit personal stories about sibling relationships and she would pick some to be included in this book. She stayed true to the original content of the story, but changed some names and added a few things to flesh out these stories which are all told in first person. The book is a beautiful thing to behold - just from an artistic point of view! The cover is lovely, the pictures are precious. They aren't black and white photos, but are in pastel tones. Very interesting. Also, Margaret includes quotes about sibling relationships from poetry and literature. The stories are all very different from each other - they are all excellent. At first reading, I like "The Exchange" and the following story (it's the last one - I don't have the book handy to give you the name of it) the best. These stories will touch your heart in a special way and cause you to reflect on your own sibling relationships. Those of you who don't have brothers and sisters (like me!) can get a glimpse into these very special sibling relationships.This would definitely make a wonderful Christmas gift for a brother or sister! I highly recommend Margaret Becker's music as well! Her latest album "Friend For Life" is a good place to start!
