Review by
Marlene Engel
Sarah’s sick of the immature high
school boys that she’s used to dealing with.
It isn’t until she begins a poetry class, held by a UW grad student,
that she feels like she’s met a real man.
A man who, when reciting poetry, is speaking directly to her. Convinced that they share the same
attraction, Sarah starts using her poetry journal as a way to express her
feelings for Mr. Haddings. But wanting
to let him know once and for all her true feelings, she writes a poem and heads
off to school to give it to him.
However, after an unlikely turn of events, Sarah finds herself being
airlifted to the hospital after being struck by a car. A car driven by none other than Mr. Haddings. Questioning if his interactions with Sarah
could put his career in jeopardy and concerned about being arrested for the
accident, Mr. Haddings goes through a mental battle with himself. Will this put his job in jeopardy? But, more importantly, will Sarah survive
despite her life threatening injuries?
As a parent, the worst news you could
ever get is that your child has been hurt.
The way the author tells this story makes you feel like you’re living it
right along with the characters. She
takes you on an emotional roller coaster as not only Mr. Haddings, but also the
family, deals with the aftermath of the accident.
Hit is a well
written, fast read that you won’t be able to put down until you get to the last
page. It’s a book I would definitely
recommend!

About the Author:
I was
born and raised in Miami, Florida. I used to pretend to read before I could by
carrying around Nancy Drew books and flipping through the pages. I studied
ballet for ten years and was a member of the Miami Ballet Company. When I grew
too tall for the profession, I turned my focus to fine art at the University of
Miami. Eventually, my love for the written word yielded verse novels and board
books. My fantasy novel, Firstborn, received a Kirkus Starred Review, and my
board book, Bedtime Kiss for Little Fish, was named a Parents Magazine Best
Children's Book. I co-founded readergirlz and readertotz. Living with my
husband in the foothills of Mt. Rainier, I write, practice weapons tai chi, and
watch hawks take flight.
