I like your description of it. It is always reassuring (especially to a new author) when readers pull out the points that I was hoping\intending they would take away from it.

I watched the HG movie with my daughter while reading that book (she'd already seen it), and it was good but in no way captured the internal struggles & conflicts.

Each book chronicles a different part of her psychological journey. Book 3 addresses PTSD in a way that mirrored my own experience with trauma. The movies, entertaining as some were, didn't come close to expressing this. Moreover, it's a book for teens, who have very few other books to turn to even though a huge minority suffer from PTSD. I'm so happy those books exist.

(I was born in PEI so I LOVE Anne of Green Gables of course! :-) ) Also, I noted your book about introverts and your post about introverts and the Great Commission.

I just started reading One Nation Under God, which actually references the positive thinking movement as a bit of a political scheme, so I'm super curious!

I usually shy away from books (or anything else, for that matter) about death, but this was such a gem, though heartbreaking at the same time.<br /><br />Here are my May reads: A beautiful exploration of life, death, and meaningElena Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15685353322770187159noreply@blogger.com
