"Don't walk in front of me.
I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me.
I may not lead.
Walk beside me and just be my friend."
To Kris, anything seems better than living at home. Her mother is overworked, angry, and demanding. Her two young brothers are loud and undisciplined. Her sister is lazy and a brat. And all Kris does is take care of all of them.
So one night she runs away and finds life on the road is no better. It holds only violence, terror, and hunger. It is only when she is placed in Chloe Dunham's foster home that she is able to feel love. She loves Regan and her loves her. And out of their love for each other grows a better understanding of her family.
The book pictured is an earlier Scholastic edition not packaged for the Wishing Star set. Due to the use of stock photos online, this book is hard to locate in the Wishing Star version.
The back cover emphasizes the romance more than it should for this book. Kris and Regan do like each other, but it's nowhere near love.
This is an excellent book.
Carrie's brother is dead. She has to accept the fact. But Allen was her idol, and it's so hard to forget him... especially when Marc comes to work on their ranch. Everything about Marc brings back painful memories of Allen. And Carrie hates him for it—but at the same time she loves him. He's kind and gentle and does everything as well as Allen did.
Carrie feels so torn. She knows she has hurt Marc by avoiding him and brushing him off, but she doesn't know what to do about it. Then comes the day of danger and excitement that pulls them together—and forces Carrie to face her true feelings.
I did not find this book interesting, so I did not read it.
