This is my very most favorite book! Jack Weyland is my favorite author and this is one of his best books. It is about a girl who gets burned in a fire and how she has to recover from it. I have read most of his books and have liked every single one of them. His books are mostly about problems that teens face. Abortion, drugs, family problems, ect. All of his books are amazing!

I'll say that her accident, treatment, and recovery are thought provoking and inspiring. I enjoyed that part of the book. But I have to say I was kind of disappointed at the immaturity showed by almost all the other characters and the shallowness of their personalities (excluding the hospital staff, though). Maybe, with a more thorough character development I wouldn't have thought so, or would have understood why they were that way... but their description and dialogues seem so black or white an

While reading this book, i really started to think about my eye and the patch. It has been hard for me to keep my self confidence up just with that cause i have to wear more make up then i have ever wished. I'm trying to be better at trying to find a way that makes me fee worth while and i think i'm getting alittle better. I guess there are good and bad days. I really liked this though because she was so opptomistic with her problem of being a burn serviver and was trying to make a differenc

.This was a good book taken from a true experience. It was about a girl who had a tragedy happen to her that totally changed her life. She felt like everyone was looking at her and she did not blame them.
She had always been infatuated with her brothers friend, but now she did not want him in her life. It takes a lot of courage & change of heart for her to even think she can have a normal life.

I thought I had read all of Jack Wayland's books when I was a teenager, but my mom found this at the DI! It was a typical JW book, although I did learn a lot on how burn patients are treated and what therapy is required at the U of U Burn Center when faced with severe burns. I still think Charly is the best!! :)

I struggled with this book. Several times through out the book I thought the characters were annoying, shallow, or being stupid. It had a good spiritual message and I remember really enjoy Jack Weyland's books in the past but I just couldn't get into this one because of the characters.

Jack Weyland is a phanominal writer... i find his writing interesting and realistic. I related to Emily in so many ways. No... i haven't experienced the trials she went through but i think her personality reminds us all of people we know and even a little bit of ourselves.

I really do love Jack Weyland books, and this is my favorite so far. Emily's story is very touching and thought-provoking. It is a quick and simple read, but such a charming story. Those romances are so much fun to read about. I would recommend this book to my friends.

I read this book a few years ago. It's about a girl who gets severly burned and how her life changes. It prepared me for the life I have with my special needs child. An awesome perspective on overcoming adversity. A real eye opener.

I read this book shortly after my mother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer. It helped me look at her situation differently and after she read it, her attitude improved as well! This is a good book for someone going through physical problems.

I have read this book several times; It is a great book that has taught me a lot. I have read most of Jack Weyland books because I like what he writes. I think that his books are very applicable to life.

if I remember correctly, this is the one where she is a burn victim... most of his books are great. They have good messages, but they are more interesting as a teen than they are now.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick and easy read. Some parts were a bit cheesy and overall it was very predictable. But it did have it's touching moments.

Once again, Jack Weyland has created a novel that is both captivating, spiritual, and humorous. "Emily" was thought-provoking, and just plain good.

This book was quite cheesy. Especially in the beginning. However, it goes on to display a great lesson. Emily is hurt in a cooking accident and then she shows her point of view of being "disfigured" and/or handicap. It helps you to realize how to treat people in those situations. Plus, there is a simple love story involved which is an added bonus! :)

This book truly educated me about burn victims. I did not understand the physical healing process and how much it truly takes out of you.
Jack Weyland helps you to dwell in the mind of a previously beautiful young woman with a great future. Her life is forever changed for the positive and negative as a result of one bad accident.

When i started reading this book I thought it would just be another mushy love story, but it turned out to be an uplifting book about a girl that learns to trust in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ when tragedy strikes her. This book has increased my faith in the church and Heavenly Father. Jack Weyland has created yet another masterpiece!

This is about a girl who has everything going for her to be a TV Newscaster but then an accident occurs and before her career is even launched, it's over. Emily then has to decide what is important and who she really is and then realize that its what's inside, not what you see on the outsie, that matters. This one makes you think.
