I recently finished Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt, the last book in the Seven Sisters series. You need to read the other books to learn everyone's back story, but you can also read this on its own. The story made me cry and laugh, and I just couldn't put it down. It shows how a family can be formed where members are not blood-related, yet they are strong and have each other's backs. In the modern day, how many of us can really say we can count on our "family" to be there for us through the good and the bad? This story shows that when you are a family, you support each other through the good and the bad. Pa Salt was an amazing man, who overcame so many obstacles in his life yet he managed to take 6 girls from different parts of the world and make a strong family that in the end gave him the love he missed growing up and they forgave the choices he made at the end to show him how much they love him. I know I said the Seven Sister series but I mentioned only 6, I am not letting the cat out of the bag :) All these books especially the Story of Pa Salt resonate with me because I know what it means to go through struggles as a young girl and have to fight your battles on your own and now as a grown woman, I am still fighting them by the grace of God.
