Place He Made

Even though this book is out of print, you should own a copy, it is so emotional and heartwarming, after I read this book about Edie and her husband and the experiences she went through with him, I had to write her a email and tell her about how well I enjoyed this book, she wrote me back with a response and said she was working on a new book, this was a year or so ago and I am still waiting. I can't wait. I hope her new book is as great as this one.

I had no idea what this story would be about when I picked it up, but once I started reading I knew I wasn't going to be able to put it down. I read it in a day, and couldn't believe how profound this story was. By the time I was finished, I wanted to hold my husband and not let him go. In a world where we all tend to focus on big homes, big cars, big jobs, big money, etc., the simple thread that wove through this wonderful story was the simple love that Edie found with Paul. Paul may have been a simple man, but I wonder how many of us in our lifetimes ever feel the true love and tenderness that they shared. This is a story that I will always remember. I truly hope I precede Edie to heaven so I can witness their reunion.

I have never before felt the urge to write to an author to tell her how much I enjoyed her beautifully written book. I was touched very much by this story and highly recommend it.

Not knowing the subject matter, I happened to buy this book while recovering from a bone marrow transplant. What should have been depressing instead was a gift of wonder and beauty at a time I needed it most. I can't find words to express how this book moved me. Edie Clark writes with an almost exacting clarity combined with extraordinary love and tenderness. Consider it a privilege to be allowed to share in the incredible story of Paul and Edie.

The love between Edie and Paul is one that we all should experience in our lifetime. I cried tonight as I finished the book, feeling the love and pain Edie and Paul shared and as death approached, I am certain Paul felt his life was complete, as he experienced true love, unconditionally. There are few books in my life that have such a profound effect on my being.
