This young adult novel is about a teenage girl named Kathryn who is constantly tired of her family chatting non stop about her older brother Brett as if he were perfect. Kathryn also has got another struggle on her hands with tutoring the football star Jason West, who unbeknownst or even to make things a little worse, He is also a Mormon. And she is tutoring him for their Honors English class-- which if it were me I'd be a little nervous let alone not sure what to do!!! She decides to give it a chance after all and whenever he brings up the subject of religious talk-- Kathryn's parents let alone her family is not at all too thrilled about it.) Without going into much more details about this, She is handed this secret journal filled with personal letters written to her from the older brother that she never got to know... but comes to learn so much from reading about his journey with chemotherapy treatments. I may not ever know what it must have been felt like to read through those letters and not having any idea with how much life would have easily turned upside down.
Safe Haven (Tetonia, Idaho)
Whenever I've experienced anything hard in my life--(minus this year alone) I always wanted to be able to have an escape to a place where I could get access into and enjoy the beauties of nature. I truly loved being able to spend quality time at my dad's five generation family cabin located in the small town of Teton County. These past two years, I have legitimately felt so much peace in my heart and being reminded about the simplicity of life and if you have not seen the unbelievable view of the Tetons and if you ask me--they are an absolute sight to see in person!!! I really wish this special place was a lot closer to home and not so far away--but at the same time, I know it would not be the same if it was here in Utah as opposed to being in Idaho. I cannot wait to return back there next year and when there is no more unexpected craziness going on in the world & being able to think about the legacy my grandparents left behind for us.
