Scattering the Ashes de Paul Semendinger
Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing.This story is about a father and son's relationship through life and the father's death, and how the son deals with his grief, his memories and his personal life and job. It was really interesting to see how Sam's father helped him with his grief, even though the letters were a different idea! I didn't realize the book wasn't a true story, because it felt like it was. I won this book through Library Thing.

In the process he runs a marathon, becomes involved in a union dispute and meets a young woman Rachel Parker, who brings direction, clarity, and companionship to Sam’s lonely life. A well constructed novel illustrating the highest aspirations or ideals of persevering through the physical challenge of a marathon while overcoming the challenges that life brings to everyone in so many ways. This is an inspiring book and I’ve no hesitation in awarding it 4 stars.
