ISLAND BREEZES

WOW!  This story is told by an eleven year old and is a hard hitting story that delivers a home run. 

I don’t want to say too much and give away any of the plot.  It is enough to say that a difficult subject was handled very well.  This book leaves a person of any age with more understanding and hope.

Oh, yes.  You’re going to need that tissue box in a couple places.
