Reseña del libro "Felicity's Last Goodbye (en Inglés)"
Some stories begin with the ordinary. Others begin with the moment everything changes. Felicity's Last Goodbye follows a young girl trying to hold her world together after the kind of loss that reshapes a life.Ten-year-old Felicity Mills adores her newborn sister Maisie from the moment she arrives. For a time, their small home feels complete. But a few quiet months later, Felicity comes home from school to find her mother unresponsive, and her life splits in two. Their father passes soon after from another tragedy, and in a rush of confusion and error, Felicity is placed into foster care while Maisie, still an infant, is mistakenly left in the care of Hallie's parents, Celeste and Darien.Separated from her sister, grieving and frightened, Felicity is moved from home to home, including a difficult stay at St. Theresa's, and orphanage over Christmas. When she is unexpectedly relocated to the McNallys in Millers Hill, Alberta; paperwork delays and government mistakes keep her there longer than intended, leaving Felicity trapped in a system that cannot seem to find a place for her. Each setback deepens the ache she carries, and her world becomes a delicate balance of memories, faith, and the small comforts she clings to.Hallie, once her babysitter and now one of the few steady figures in her life, tries to support her along with her younger sister Riley. Their presence is a reminder that kindness still exists, even when everything feels impossible. Yet Felicity continues to face challenges no child her age should bear.Through grief, displacement, and moments of unexpected grace, Felicity searches for connection, healing, and the hope she cannot name. Shadows linger over her journey, but so does something gentler. Something that watches, waits, and never leaves her side.Told with emotional honesty and a gentle, faith-centred perspective, Felicity's Last Goodbye explores foster care, loss, resilience, and the quiet strength of children carrying more than anyone sees. It is a story for readers who believe in light pressing through darkness, the power of compassion, and love that endures beyond what we understand.A haunting and hopeful young adult novel, Felicity's Last Goodbye invites readers to walk beside a girl whose presence echoes long after the final page.
