How to Save a Life
by Sara Zarr
Book Description:
Jill MacSweeny just
wishes everything could go back to normal. But ever since her dad died, she's
been isolating herself from her boyfriend, her best friends--everyone who wants
to support her. And when her mom decides to adopt a baby, it feels like she's
somehow trying to replace a lost family member with a new one.
Mandy Kalinowski understands what it's like to grow up unwanted--to be
raised by a mother who never intended to have a child. So when Mandy becomes
pregnant, one thing she's sure of is that she wants a better life for her baby.
It's harder to be sure of herself. Will she ever find someone to care for her, too?
As their worlds change around them, Jill and Mandy must learn to both let
go and hold on, and that nothing is as easy--or as difficult--as it seems.
Review:
Want a tearjerker? Here you go.
This book was so good. It made me laugh and it made me cry. Both girls come from a family situation that is just not working any more. Both girls find, surprisingly enough, just what they really needed in the other.
This was one of those books that really touched my heart.
