This was such a touching book. Emilie has epilepsy AND she's lost her dad. Now her mom's making her go to school, so she's a bit upset. Normally, I'm not a big fan of YA or new adult because angst isn't my favorite. I couldn't help myself, though. I ...more

“I don't teach writing. I teach patience. Toughness. Stubbornness. The willingness to fail. I teach the life. The odd thing is most of the things that stop an inexperienced writer are so far from the truth as to be nearly beside the point. When you feel glosbal doubt about your talent, that is your talent. People who have no talent don't have any doubt.”
