Personal Comments
This is a gripping book. The drama and adventure are something to behold. It is classic teen emotions blown on an epic scale. Love is powerful and effects many people. Do you love yourself, your family, someone else? Honesty is a heavy weight when secrets are meant to protect people. This is just the shell of the book. The inside goes deep enough to drown people.
