Customer Reviews

Different...yet appealing.

A Stranger Here is not the type of book I usually read, I grabbed it at the library on an impulse. I was pleasantly suprised with the way Mrs.Wyss wove Jada's intricate personality and her relationship with everyone -including Starr Freeman's ghost- around her. Jada and Starr represent the things we can learn from those who lived, and died, before us; and they teach each other to appreciate the beauty around them. "Oh, Beauty are you not enough? Why then do I cry after Love?"
