The Sunflower

I just finished reading The Sunflower by Richard Paul Evans. It is probably the most touching book that I have a read in quite so time and what makes this unique is that it is a based on a true story. The book is exotic because the story takes you on a journey following a humanitarian effort through the jungles of Peru. It is also a love story and how love is more powerful than pain. Each chapter is a diary extert of one of the main characters and follows the journey of a woman finding herself and a man who has done so much for others finally finds peace. I would encourage everyone to read this book - it is a quick read and I think you can find out a lot about yourself and how it is important to remember that you are one in this huge world and what may seem like a big problem to you is a luxury for others. And that we all have the strength to go on, we sometimes just need that extra push from a friend and someone to believe in us that we have the strength to do anything. Anyone want to go to Peru?
