Book Description
You never know what's gonna come down -- in Heaven.
At fourteen, Marley knows she has Momma's hands and Pops's love for ice cream, that her brother doesn't get on her nerves too much, and that Uncle Jack is a big mystery. But Marley doesn't know all she thinks she does, because she doesn't know the truth. And when the truth comes down with the rain one stormy summer afternoon, it changes everything. It turns Momma and Pops into liars. It makes her brother a stranger and Uncle Jack an even bigger mystery.
All of a sudden, Marley doesn't know who she is anymore and can only turn to the family she no longer trusts to find out.
Truth often brings change. Sometimes that change is for the good. Sometimes it isn't. Coretta Scott King award-winning author Angela Johnson writes a poignant novel of deception and self-discovery -- about finding the truth and knowing what to do when truth is at hand.
April 17th 2006 is BookCrossing’s 5th Anniversary!
In honor of this event bookcrosser solittletime decided to challenge us with the Race to Three Million Registered Books. I am encouraged that we can reach the goal of registering 3 million books. Of course, I thought this was a great idea and had to be involved! :)
Amazingly, I have many books hiding around the apartment that still needed to be registered. This challenge was the push I needed to register them.
Here is a list of where I find most of my books:
Beaverton Library’s Book Corner
Powell’s bookstore
Annie Blooms Books
Amazon.com
Goodwill
Library sales
and any where else I happen to see a book that catches my eye :)
