review 1: this was a sweet story. It is seen through the eyes of "Sarah" she is a young woman who died way too young. She is now in Heaven. as soon as she gets there she is met by someone who tells her she now has a job. She is to be assigned to be a "moment keeper" for a baby girl who has just been born. from the start Sarah records big moments in a girl named Olivia's life. Olivia is adopted by a couple who adore her. for the next sixteen years the reader see's moments form Olivia's life. Olivia is loved by her family and grows up happy and well taken care of. Few bad things happen to Olivia for the most part her life is a "charmed life'.Unlike Sarah the moment keeper. As Olivia grows up Sarah thinks of her own life at different stages. Sarah's mother dies in childbirth, her fath... moreer is a drunk who refuses so love or accept Sarah. She is raised by her grandmother, the only person Sarah has she can rely on or feels loves her. Sarah's life is an opposite of Olivia's. the end of this book is a pretty good pay off. do not want to give anymore details than that. A pretty good read. I found myself more interested in reading about Sarah's life over Olivia's. but that is my opinion.
review 2: I completely fell in love with the book's main characters, starting with Sarah, the Moment Keeper for Olivia. The concept of each of us having a Keeper of the moments of our lives is intriguing. Who is our Moment Keeper and why are we chosen for each other? You'll see as the story unfolds that even the Moment Keepers themselves don't quite understand why they were chosen until the exact moment they are meant to. Both Sarah and Olivia, with their differing lives, have a great deal of life insight to offer us. Their stories are intense, emotional, upsetting, and wonderful at different times. I can identify with both main characters, as well as others, such as Olivia's mom. If you are interested in a book that really makes you think about life and its many questions, you may very well adore this lovely story about Olivia and her Moment Keeper, Sarah. less
