Waiting on Wednesday



This meme is hosted over at Breaking the Spine. This week, I'm waiting on:

Where the Stars Still Shine

Goodreads Summary: Stolen as a child from her large and loving family, and on the run with her mom for more than ten years, Callie has only the barest idea of what normal life might be like. She's never had a home, never gone to school, and has gotten most of her meals from laundromat vending machines. Her dreams are haunted by memories she’d like to forget completely. But when Callie’s mom is finally arrested for kidnapping her, and Callie’s real dad whisks her back to what would have been her life, in a small town in Florida, Callie must find a way to leave the past behind. She must learn to be part of a family. And she must believe that love--even with someone who seems an improbable choice--is more than just a possibility.
Trish Doller writes incredibly real teens, and this searing story of love, betrayal, and how not to lose your mind will resonate with readers who want their stories gritty and utterly true.
Where the Stars still Shine by Trish Doller - I loved this author's debut novel, Something Like Normal, so this is a definite must-read for me. There's something about her writing that is just raw, and I love it.
Release Date: September 24th 2013

  1. I haven't read Something Like Normal but have heard great things about it. This sounds very intense and emotional. On the run for 10 years and then back to her dad. Lots of adjustments.

    1. Something Like Normal was an awesome book, I hope you get to read it at some point. This summary reminded me a lot of If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch.
