“Harry Potter saved me more than once, and I can’t thank J.K. Rowling enough.”
The Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling
"Before my father died, he'd watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in his hospital bed. After he passed away from cancer, reading the Harry Potter books and is what helped keep me sane. This book series is one of the last attachments I have to my father. Harry Potter saved me more than once, and I can’t thank J.K. Rowling enough."

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
"Just like Francie, I turned to writing as a tool to explore my grief, and to realize our fathers were flawed men. I always knew I'd get through my grief because Francie survived, thrived, and never gave up hope, despite the darkness."
