What is the author's tone in the memoir, Finding Chika?

For the most part, the tone of this book is subdued and sentimental. Albom uses his writing as a way to deal with the grief he feels because he has lost Chika. He is sentimental as he shares the memories that he has of his time with Chika and his search for a cure for her tumor. He is thoughtful as he explores the idea that some people believe that he is unusual for taking such good care of a child who is not his biological child. Albom’s tone is searching and raw as he describes how he battled with the conflict between his faith and Chika’s sickness. The tone becomes harshly grieved as Albom talks about his own physical illness as he comes to the point that he is writing about the end of Chika’s life. Albom is also grieving as he describes the last days that he spent with Chika.
