Re: Review of Covid Orphans

Truly seeing a book about COVID-19 brings back memories of the pandemic and it's a pity that isabella, makayla and trusted had to live as orphans after the death of their mother and I like that the book depicts relationship. Thank you for your well written review and I'm curious to know what happened to the kids

My desire to know what happened to the kids (and the otherwise engaging storyline) kept me glued to this book. I was grateful for the laughter and suspense included in the plot to take the edge off the pandemic.

Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your comment!

I love how it goes from the fact that Covid can literally destroy life it also gives opportunity for you to be independent and move forward in life. I'm excited to read the whole book and what's going to happen to the kids because of the absence of their parents.

Thanks for the review. I was looking at this one and considering if I could come to grips with a book broaching the topic. That said, I've read some horrific stories of late, such as Hurricane Season and White Chrysanthemum. I will definitely need to be in the right mindset for this one.

There are many people that past away during COVID 19 and there has been a few children that's been left without parents.
But most people lost work and closed down businesses because of everything being closed.
I think that COVID 19 has learnd us a falueble lesson in life that nothing in life is free and easy to maintain and that without work no one can survive...
I learnd that if you have a job do your best in it and hold on to it... basically we all should be grateful for having the privilege to be able to generate an income through hard work and smart work.

Besides enjoying reading the well-done review, thoughts of many friends who lost their loved ones during the epic of the pandemic comes to my mind. Loss, irregardless of the party involved is quite a difficult thing to overcome. And to all those who lost their bread winners, may they find them whom they can trust for support and help. Great review @MsH2k.

Great review MsH2k.
As I was out for my walk today, I was thinking about how this not-so-fictional novel addressed this situation by having members of the community pool their resources and gifts to help each other. It was quite inspiring and my favorite part of the book.
Thank you for your visit and your kind comment.
