    <body><![CDATA[This book was thought-provoking, and filled with an underlying tension.  You want to know the whole story, but you don't want to know the whole story.  A wonderful book that shows how strong young adults can be and explores the importance of family and friends.<br/><br/>I really did like this book...]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Marty&#8217;s small town in Alaska is the most beautiful place in the world.  There she and her beloved boyfriend, Steven, can walk through fields of fireweed, explore the wild, and tie pink floozy fishing lures to catch the salmon that swim upstream. But when she starts her senior year, Marty must return to school by herself.  Without Steven.  Something happened during the summer that changed things forever.  <br/><br/>It&#8217;s a small town and people are starting to talk; Marty can feel their stares and hear their whispers. But they weren&#8217;t there and they don&#8217;t know. Only Marty knows what really happened, and it&#8217;s something she must never, ever tell.<br/><br/><br/><em>From the Hardcover edition.</em>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm not quite sure how I came to pick this one up; it took me a little while to get into the rhythm of the book, but once I did I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it.  I appreciated that the story never turned into a big drama, and stayed a smaller, personal story.
