It was both joyful and heart wrenching to read * Night Resplendent *The descriptions of LA and California gave a warmth to this heart breaking tale * Jera's Jamboree *I would really recommend this book to you if you're looking for a contemporary that focuses on learning more about yourself, about your meaning in this world, on family and love and loss * The Cursed Books *
