Against an Amber Sky

Life is beautiful for fifteen-year-old Bodi Brooks. She has a wonderful family, a loyal friend, her poetry, her music, and best of all, her daydreams. Everything in her life is perfect...except for school. And her bratty cousin Staci. And that annoying boy, Syd. And the fact that the most handsome boy in the world, Freddie, doesn't know she exists. And, of course, the Vietnam War. Other than that, though, Bodi has no complaints.
Just when Bodi feels life is at its best, adversity strikes. When a quick succession of tragedies crush Bodi's perfect world, Bodi is left with a pile of broken dreams as well as faith-threatening questions. Does God exist, or is he really only the product of someone's pitiful yearning and imagination? Can people be trusted, or will everyone sooner or later break their word? Do miracles really happen - and if they do, can they happen to someone like her?
In this touching story, the reader will learn with Bodi that although life doesn't always turn out the way we want, it doesn't mean that it can't still be good. Against an Amber Sky is the story of a young girl who learns the importance of integrity and comes to feel the love of God as she discovers the reality of miracles.

The young girl in this story has to learn to deal with many types of sorrow in her life. It is a good book. It isn't a book that requires you to finish the whole thing before putting it down, but it has a good story line and shows you that no matter what happens in your life, life still goes on and God will always love you.
