What Light by Jay Asher, 251 pages
“Sierra's family runs a
Christmas tree farm in Oregon--it's a bucolic setting for a girl to grow up in,
except that every year, they pack up and move to California to set up their
Christmas tree lot for the season. So Sierra lives two lives: her life in
Oregon and her life at Christmas. And leaving one always means missing the
other. Until this particular Christmas, when Sierra meets Caleb, and one
life eclipses the other. By reputation, Caleb is not your perfect guy: years ago,
he made an enormous mistake and has been paying for it ever since. But Sierra
sees beyond Caleb's past and becomes determined to help him find forgiveness
and, maybe, redemption. As disapproval, misconceptions, and suspicions swirl
around them, Caleb and Sierra discover the one thing that transcends all else:
true love. What Light is a love story that's moving and life-affirming and
completely unforgettable.” This was a sweet
romance and a good story besides. This
book would appeal to teens who like romance and maybe realistic fiction as
well.
