Stories That Call My Bookshelf "Home"
These are the books that have entranced me, from start to finish. They tell stories of finding perspective and resilience in the face of life, love, and loss—and with the flip of each page, they captured my heart. I hope they find a home in yours, too.

Blue Sky Kingdom
By Bruce Kirkby
ON MY NIGHTSTAND
Feeling increasingly disconnected from family and everything else of importance in his world, Bruce, his wife, and their two children travel through South Korea, China, India, Nepal and the Himalaya.
Why I'm loving it? It's a raw tale that keeps my head in the clouds and my feet on the ground—while redefining what it means to adventure with family.
