Dear Readers:

This is a truly fun and inspirational teen/juvenile novel. In fact, this is one YA that I definitely have to give a huge "thumbs up" to. What she does, is she enters into the Foreign Exchange Program and is sent over to Abbeyglen, Ireland. In fact, she is following in her beloved brother’s footsteps, because Will left behind a personal journal about his own travels through the Irish landscape; and Finley wants nothing more than to follow in her brother’s footsteps and see if she can find a way to change her life and cope with loss.

On the plane, she sits beside Hollywood’s hottest hunk, Beckett Rush. Rush is also a "wild child" in Hollywood, and he is headed to Ireland to make the next in his series of…you guessed it…vampire films. The one thing he really loves about Finley, however, is the fact that she has no interest in him whatsoever, and pretty much ‘slams’ him on the plane.

Soon, Finley arrives in Ireland, and the family she’s staying with own a B&B, and they are so lovely and funny, they accept Finley right away into their home and their lives. Unfortunately for Finley, there is a guest staying at the B&B for a while - Beckett Rush - and they find themselves continuously thrown in each other’s path.

As time goes on, readers are stunned by the beauty of Finley’s mission to follow her brother’s notes, and to find the location of a marble cross in a picture that Will left behind. Add in an old, cranky woman at a nursing home who is Finley’s "school project;" a job being Beckett’s personal assistant; and, a girl who is the ‘Queen Bee’ at the school, and readers are offered a beautiful romance, a fun story, and a sincerely inspirational adventure. A Great Read!

Until next time,
Amy
