This book is a revelation. How would you sum up your life in just six words? Based on the premise that someone challenged Ernest Hemingway to write a book in just 6 words. Hemingway is said to have met the challenge with: "Baby shoes. For sale. Never worn." Grabs your heart doesn't it? It did mine. It says so much an entire book if you will all communicated in those 6 words. WOW! Extraordinary. It is the same in this book. Each entry by a different teenage writer is so deep, so telling, so full of emotion and a big story told simply. Amazing. This is one of the most moving, phenomenal books I have ever read. Some entries immediately bring tears to your eyes they are so heartfelt and immense, so touching so all encompassing everything that makes up that person yet said in so few words. Everyone should read this book it will give you new vision into every person you meet. There is so much that lies behind the eyes of everyone, so many stories that could be told. The infinite universe that is one person told in the most meaningful of ways with all the fluff and flack cut away to the bare bones the core of another human being. I loved this book. Read it and the feelings and the magnitude of all that fills the life of each and every person around us will be almost tangible with very few words spoken. It is a marvel and I cannot recommend it highly enough. A jewel with so many facets and yet all in one tiny mass. Magnificent. Light as a spirit heavy with meaning. How to show the world your heart, your soul, your reality..
