"This book is absolutely one of the best books that I have read in a long time...The Bench was an amazing book. One that makes you think, question, think again and smile! When bad things happen to us, how often do we ask why? Why me? Why my child? What did I do to deserve this? Questions, questions, questions and with no real answers. The Bench changes that. - K. Nischan, Reedsy Review
