Do you believe in angels?
FAR FROM YOU is a story of love and loss, and reminds us what's really important in life. Fans of I HEART YOU, YOU HAUNT ME are sure to enjoy this novel-in-verse featuring 16-year-old Alice, a singer/songwriter who's had her share of hard times, and unfortunately, has more to come. What will pull her through? Her music? The love of her boyfriend, Blaze? Or perhaps, an angel, here on earth?
I was first introduced to Lisa’s writing after her debut novel I Heart You, You Haunt Me. Her writing is simply beautiful. It never takes me long to read her novels, but in that short time the emotions that she can display in her writing are unbelievable. Far From You displays a wide range, touching on; love, jealousy, heart-ache, survival, forgiveness.
Alice’s struggles and then ultimately her personal triumph are beautifully woven in this captivating novel. While personally I Heart You, You Haunt Me is still my favorite, fans of Schroeder’s writing won’t be disappointed with her new novel.
