This book is a must read. Very inspirational. I would highly recommend this book for teens and young adults who are trying to find their purpose in life. I could not put this book down, I could not wait to see how Storm was going to turn her life around. This story is a story of Love, hope & Trust. I rated it four stars only because of grammatical errors. Great Book! You can make it thru any "STORM" that life brings you., it's about the choices we make, young and old.

A compelling, gritty, inspirational book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This story is geared towards young adults who are struggling to figure out what their place is going to be in this world, what they want to do with their lives, etc. It's an inspirational tale that does not pull any punches. It feels real; the author knows the streets, yet is able to convey this environment without resorting to strong language and other things that may not be considered appropriate for young readers. I knocked it down a star because it needs another round of editing. You do have to get past some grammatical errors to enjoy this book. If you can, it'll be one of those books you won't be able to put down.
