Far from You by Lisa Schroeder - Starting March 29th 2014

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Lost and alone...down the rabbit hole.

Years have passed since Alice lost her mother to cancer, but time hasn't quite healed the wound. Alice copes the best she can by writing her music, losing herself in her love for her boyfriend, and distancing herself from her father and his new wife.

But when a deadly snowstorm traps Alice with her stepmother and newborn half sister, she'll face issues she's been avoiding for too long. As Alice looks to the heavens for guidance, she discovers something wonderful.

Perhaps she's not so alone after all....

Lindsey and I will be reading this on March 29th 2014. Everybody welcome ☺

15% (view spoiler)[ Ivy's an unusual name, but it's nice. I'm guessing most people would feel jealous and upset if they felt their father was choosing his new daughter over them. (hide spoiler)]

I feel bad...you read that on your own and I said I would read it with you. Sorry.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Oh don't worry! I had to try and read it when I got chance cause I'm at my parents house and don't get much time to read here. It's quite a short story really cause it's written in verse ☺

That's good. I had planned to get all my work done last night (Friday for me) but with the earthquakes my whole schedule was thrown off. And for some reason my professors have thrown so much at me for this weekend. I will read it...most likely really late in the night.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

An earthquake?! I kept delaying my visit but it's mother's day tomorrow so ended up making a last minute trip!

Yes I live in California in Yorba Linda and La Habor (I believe that's how you spell it) was hit with a 5.1 and we are only couple miles away from there. So we felt it nicely, a thought of my books fell around my room. We have had several aftershocks.

It's great to spend time with your mom. It's always fun when I spend time with mine.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't get to see mine very often cause 3 hours on a bus with a three year old isn't always easy!

[[deleted user]]

That would be hard.
