Sick

My baby has been sick soooo much this year. I took her to see a doctor today. The doctor comforted me by saying that once we get pass all these illnesses, Kiia´s immune system will be back to normal. It was just shook up by the chicken pox she had the first thing this year. Kiia was blood and smear tested for many things. Just in case, said the doctor. I had worried so much that she now has some very serious illness. But we were lucky. Kiia will be fine. And that day will arrive soon, I hope.

Let The Northern Lights Erase Your Name


On the day of her father's funeral, twenty-eight-year-old Clarissa Iver­ton discovers that he wasn't her biological father after all. Her mother disappeared fourteen years earlier, and her fiancé has just revealed a life-changing secret to her. Alone and adrift, Clarissa travels to mystical Lapland, where she believes she'll meet her real father. There, at a hotel made of ice, Clarissa is confronted with the truth about her mother's his­tory, and must make a decision about how—and where—to live the rest of her life.

What can I say about this book? First of all, I found it accidently at the library and was somehow drawn to it. The name of the book was very appealing to me. I didn´t realize it was partly about Finland and Lapland until I started reading it. Then also one of my most favorite city in the world, Memphis, was mentioned and handball which is very dear to my family. Plus, I have always loved the books about personal growth and finding yourself.

So shortly said, without spoiling the plot, it was a very powerful read. And I enjoyed it and couldn´t put it down.
