Are you sure this is fiction? It is one powerful book! Feb 18, 2008
By T Langley
This is a powerful novel. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a strong, decent female role model. Lindsey Schnetler is good, kind, smart, funny - and before you know it, she's changed your life. The source of her strength is a tragic past and the certainty of a young death if something doesn't happen to save her. Jimmy - well, he's moody, a poor student, downright mean and has given up on life. At 15, his life is over, thanks to an accident on the way home from football practice. He's been written off by his friends and is close to alienating his family when Lindsey moves in next door. What makes this a wonderful story, though, is the range of emotions Waggoner pulls out of the innocent reader! I'm laughing and crying in the same chapter. I've rarely read a recent novel that presents a young (she's 12 when we meet her)female role model I'd want my daughter to be like. I not only recommend this book, I think every girl from 12 to 99 should read it! (It's a powerful romance, but the romance is uplifting and honest. Plus, there's enough mystery in here to classify it in that genre too. So tie your heart down and put your brain in gear when you read this book. I'll bet you can't put it down!)
A cool love story with great dialogue Jan 21, 2008

"CanAm Chick"
Since I read "Saving Crystal" by this same author, I thought I would read this story too. I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed reading the dialogue between Jimmy and Lindsey. It was fun and intelligent and real. This book is a great example of how life's hardships don't have to keep us from finding love or meaningful work. I heartily recommend it.
Great Love Story Nov 13, 2007
By sharonrenee'
What a great story of love and hope. All of us have barriers that can get in the way of living meaningful lives and focusing on what is really important. This book reminds us that living emotionally free instead of in fear is what we were all destined for.
