All That We Carried by Erin Bartels

 Unique.  Intriguing.  This book has emotional depths.  After finishing the book I just sat in silence for awhile absorbing what I read.  Almost the entire book takes place during a backpacking trip between two estranged sisters.  There are intense flash backs that give clues to what is really going on between these two sisters.  This story takes a very unusual approach and path to understanding God's place in grief and unexpected twists in a person's life.  This is not light reading but it is well worth the time to contemplate the weightier matters of life while enjoying the dialogue and journey (both literally and emotionally) of the characters.  

I received this book from the publishers but was not required to write a positive review.
