The Berry Pickers by Amanda    Peters
"4.5 stars- I didn’t know what to expect when I picked this up (I thought it would lean more towards a mystery and was so glad to be wrong), but I was deeply moved by Norma and Joe’s stories over the years. I really enjoyed the author’s writing style." Read more of this review »

"4.5 rounded down. Reminded me of Louise Erdrich a bit but more straightforward in terms of writing. Cried! "

Quotes by Amanda Peters  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I found it strange that no word exists for a parent who loses a child. If children lose their parents, they are orphans. If a husband loses his wife, he’s a widower. But there’s no word for a parent who loses a child. I’ve come to believe that the event is just too big, too monstrous, too overwhelming for words. No word could ever describe the feeling, so we leave it unsaid.”
Amanda Peters, The Berry Pickers

“Anger is exhausting. Holding on to it will drain the life out of you.”
Amanda Peters, The Berry Pickers

“When you’re an only child, semi-imprisoned, books become more than paper between hard cardboard, more than the alphabet organized into words and printed on a page.”
Amanda Peters, The Berry Pickers
