Great Read

I absolutely loved this book. Problems that the war creates for Ellen's family inspire her to go off and fulfill her dreams. Ellen is not afraid to express her feelings about things. She stands up for what she believes in and that is why I find this book so intriguing. It contains a little bit of everything; some romance,drama,suspense. Some parts were a bit slow, but they quickly gained speed. I would recommend this book to all young adults.
