WEDNESDAY: The Amber Photograph

This is one of those books where you start with a couple different story lines but they converge somewhere in the middle as you barrel on to the conclusion. In this case, one story involves Diedre, a young woman who has lost her mother. When she dies, she hints to Diedre that everything in her life is not what it appears. Diedre decides to follow her mother's hints to discover the truth. At the same time, another woman on the other side of the country is working through the secrets of her own past.

I tear up just thinking about the characters in this book and the journey they endure to find eachother and find themselves and find peace. There are some themes in the story that lead me to recommend this for high school readers or adults. Most readers will see the big reveal coming in the story, but the characters are compelling enough to be completely engross the reader in their journey.

Hmmm - now that I have talked about it, I am in mood to read The Amber Photograph again!
