I read this book when I was a senior in highschool, I had checked it out of the library. I'm 31 now and to this day I still remember how much I loved it and how much it affected me. It is pure humanity; all the joys, sorrows, hopes, dreams, pain, and wonder of being human and experiencing life. The good as well as the bad. It is one of the purest, most incredible love stories I have ever read or seen in any movie. I had forgotton the title of this book, I could not remember it regardless of how hard I tried. Sadly, I was unable to ever find it again. Today, I was browsing through my journal from highschool, and to my delight, I wrote how much I was enjoying the book and yes-it's title was there! Here is the excert from my journal: "I'm reading this book that I checked out at the school library a few days ago. It's so wonderful! It's one of the best books I've ever read in my life (and reading is my passion). And it's so sad. I cried. That's how sad it was. It's called, 'A Share of Earth & Glory.' It's beautiful! I love it. I have been going to bed at about 2 a.m. every night because of it. It's great." I put in an order immediately and I will treasure my very own copy and reading it again for the first time!
