Body Language by Marylee MacDonald is a moving collection of stories that has the power to touch your heart. You share what the characters go through because it often hits home in how they deal with real life and situations that average people experience as a part of living. As a result, you gain insight about your own life as well as you read these different stories and often relate. You find yourself wondering how would you have dealt with what just happened? Would you react in the same way or differently? I enjoyed the portrayal of the characters and how the author brought them so clearly to life. I am looking forward to reading more from Marylee MacDonald because I admire her remarkable writing style.
