Customer Reviews

Excellent for Youth and Adults

I felt like I was just watching a movie on TV while I read this book. I would especially recommend this to all youth nearing driving age or those that may have just received their license. As an adult, I can remember that in my teenage years ... I felt like nothing I did could harm me. Yet this is just one of many examples that in less than a second, a tragedy can happen that changes your life and the life of everyone around you forever. This book helps us all understand how fragile we all are and how blessed we are to have the burdens in our lives that are so small in comparison.

Amazing book!

This is a great story. I had a chance to meet Holly after reading her book, and she was such a wonderful person when we met. She has an incredible wit and a terrific sense of humor.

a must read for every parent

I enjoyed the book, I had to finish the book the same day I started it. When my children, ages 9 and 11, are older I plan to have them read it. I hope that they will realize that every action had a consquence. I wish that every teen would understand that.

Compelling

I couldn't put this book down. One I started it I had to finish this true story of a young girl whose life was turned upside down. A must read for every teenager every parent of a teenager and for anyone who realizes that life is so precious and our lives can change in a matter of minutes.
