Great new book!
A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly
Mattie Gokey has a word for everything. She collects words, stores them up as a way of fending off the hard truths of her life, the truths that she can't write down in stories.
The fresh pain of her mother's death. The burden of raising her sisters while her father struggles over his brokeback farm. The mad welter of feelings Mattie has for handsome but dull Royal Loomis, who says he wants to marry her. And the secret dreams that keep her going--visions of finishing high school, going to college in New York City, becoming a writer.
Yet when the drowned body of a young woman turns up at the hotel where Mattie works, all her words are useless. But in the dead woman's letters, Mattie again finds her voice, and a determination to live her own life.

Calling All Opinions!
Have you ever read a book and sat back in absolute awe of the author? Read a story that made you laugh or cry or scared to death? Have you ever wanted to share that opinion with more people than your friends? Get in contact with me at bhull@and.lib.in.us and let me know. I'm looking for a few good reviewers to check out some books and write a review and possibly get published on this blog!
