He told her that the brightest stars weren’t always the most beautiful—that if people took the time to look at the smaller stars, if they looked with a telescope at the true essence of the star, they would find real beauty. But even though Melissa knows that beauty isn’t only skin deep, the people around her don’t seem to feel that way. There’s her gorgeous sister Ashley who will barely acknowledge Melissa at school, there's her best friend Ryan, who may be falling in love with the sophisticated Courtney, and there’s Melissa’s mother who’s dating someone new, someone who Melissa knows will never be able to replace her father. To make sure she doesn’t lose her father completely, Melissa spends her time trying to piece together the last of his secrets and completing a journal her father began—one about love and relationships and the remarkable ways people find one another. But when tragedy strikes, Melissa has to start living and loving in the present, as she realizes that being beautiful on the outside doesn't mean you can't be beautiful on the inside. This is a lyrical tale of love, loss and self-discovery from the author of THE SEPTEMBER SISTERS 6672438 3 2010 The Life of Glass total:3|5:2|4:0|3:1|2:0|1:0| 3 13 145 2 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 17:41:37 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 17:42:25 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 31 19:05:49 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 13:25:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 20 14:58:26 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 14:58:26 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 20 06:57:18 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 06:57:18 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 19 05:21:53 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 05:21:53 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 18 20:09:12 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 20:09:30 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 18 09:16:47 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 09:16:47 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 17 22:28:04 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 17 22:28:04 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 23:14:04 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 23:14:04 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 11:33:11 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 11:33:11 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 07:17:42 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 07:17:42 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 14 21:53:44 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 21:53:44 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 14 12:13:02 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 12:13:28 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 14 11:55:02 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 11:55:02 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 14 11:19:36 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 11:19:36 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 13 17:40:25 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 17:40:25 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 12 20:31:19 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 20:42:20 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 11 23:10:56 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 23:10:56 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 09 19:47:39 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 19:47:39 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Wed Nov 04 05:49:37 -0800 2009 Sat Oct 31 19:23:19 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 19:23:19 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6481191
