"Everyone comes to this earth and lives their life. It might be a long life or it might be short, but most of the basic details are uninteresting. We go about our daily chores, we might marry, we might have children, and we die. No one wants to hear about all of it. .... Each of us has one story worth telling, one moment of glory and triumph or grief and despair; something that defines us." This was a book where I couldn't wait to get to the end because I was so excited to see what would happen and yet, I didn't ever want it to end because I found the story so fascinating.Kaitlin goes to Arizona to visit a grandmother, Viola, she hardly knows. Viola starts telling Kaitlin her life's story. Fairy ancestry, a castle in Spain, a kidnapping. It all seems so far-fetched and yet, in a way, completely plausible.I really liked "Spare Change" and I thought "Santa Maybe" was fantastic. But this is my favorite by Aubrey Mace and I really hope she is able to publish a sequel. I can't wait to read the story of the Last Fairy. Loved this quote --"Everyone comes to this earth and lives their life. It might be a long life or it might be short, but most of the basic details are uninteresting. We go about our daily chores, we might marry, we might have children, and we die ... Each of us has one story worth telling, one moment of glory and triumph or pain and despair; something that defines us. It might be one second, or it could extend over several years, but for better or worse, it is the most interesting part of who we are."
What do You think about MY FAIRY GRAND MOTHER (2000)?
Well written but kind of intense. It gave me nightmares. Definitely not a story for kids.

Couldn't actually read the book, ended up just skimming it. Not interesting to me at all.
