This story develops around a young girl who leaves a small town back east and has to move to Califoria with her parents. The girl leaves her first true love in this small town. She never forgets about little Jimmy Stillman, however overtime Jimmy stops writting. No reason given to her. As writters magic happens the family is transfer back to the east coast and to the little town specificially. The girl finds that Jimmy Stillman has had many adverse things happen to him over the last 5-6 years. The story then goes on to how with love and kindness and the Church he was brought back into the fold.

The book for the youth is fairly good. The book has a very simple story line. However for any adult reader I think you will be disappointed.

Also the packaging on the book is very attactive. However the substance is truly lacking for the price. At $11.00 for a book with 136 pages with a least 10 that are blank due to chapter changes and atleast a 12-13 point font and wide margin top/bottom/left/right you are left with very little text. Perphaps I have a hang up when it comes to cost verus product. I do not believe that we should have to pay "a great deal" more for LDS books.

This book, if a gift for a young adult, is nice and a pretty book for a gift.

Thanks
Bob
