The Resistance

October 12th 2016

Do you hide secrets in your books that only a few people will find?

If I told you the answer to that, everyone would try to find hidden messages and might think the wrong things.

But if you think you have found a magical secret to my book by all means share with me and I'll tell you if you are right or not!

Because I can't really tell you I'll answer another question.

What is the first book that ever made you cry?

Happily After All

Book by Laura C. Stevenson

For those who have never read this book, this is about a preteen girl whose dad dies and she is forced to go live with her next living relative, which turns out to be her mother that she had not seen since her parents divorced.

While she is there trying to figure out why her mother wanted nothing to do with her, she meets a boy who is in the foster care system. This boy is an amazing artist and a bad boy at that.

Not to ruin the book for those that want to read it, but the boy finds a forever home, the girl learns her mom loved her always and the boy gives the girl a picture and I balled my eyes out. Might not have been a huge thing to everyone else but reading this book and seeing how it turned out I couldn't help the tears.

I didn't go through anything this little girl had ever been through but the author moved me so much that I couldn't help the tears. That is how I can tell a good author, if you are feeling the emotions of the main character, they are a wonderful writer.
