Loss, love, and friendship in bittersweet berry bites.

"A Taste of Blackberries" is a touching story about the grieving process following the loss of a friend at a young age.

The book captures the essence of the very sweet moments spent with a best friend and how some things can remind us of them. It is a must-read for anyone seeking comfort after a loss.
