Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

SHOOGY DOESN'T KNOW WHERE SHE belongs. Since she moved to Heaven, she can count on one hand the number of people she can depend on. Her family doesn't understand her, and school isn't working out. In Curtis she finds someone with a similar habit of wanting to be alone — and so they spend time alone together. As their relationship matures, Curtis has to deal with the real demons of his experience in Iraq, and Shoogy must come to terms with what it means to truly care about — and lose — someone.

Angela Johnson tackles her most difficult subject yet in this heartrending look at the far-reaching effects of war and the possibilities it destroys.

Synopsis:

The third book in the critically-acclaimed Heaven trilogy finds Shoogy wondering where she belongs after running away from home and spending time with her war-veteran boyfriend Curtis, who is dreading his return to Iraq and concerned about how his recall to duty will affect their relationship. By the Coretta Scott King-winning author of Heaven. 20,000 first printing.

Synopsis:

Sweet leaves her family and goes to live in a cabin in the woods with the quiet but understanding Curtis, to whom she feels intensely connected, just as he is called back to serve again in Iraq.
