Publisher's summary

Once a gifted ballet dancer, Julia Costell buckled under the demands of a professional dance career and has landed with a thud in an unglamorous job as a guidance counselor at a performing arts high school. Living back home with her parents and feeling lost, she is afraid she’ll never soar again...until the day young Dell Jordan is sent to her office, carrying an essay.

In Dell’s writing, Julia sees luminous sparks of hope. But as she fights to forge a brighter future for one disadvantaged student, she is drawn into startling undercurrents of conflict and denial within the academy. Only when she is tested in ways she never could have imagined does she begin to discover where real meaning and fulfillment lie - and realize that even though her life has seemed off course, she’s been on the right path all along.

Life

I enjoyed this story, a story of things that are true to life's experiences. Julia and Dell were pictured in my mind, as also others. A very good store ~ I applaud the writer!

Great story with tenacity to do the right thing at all cost.

The end. I wanted to have more assurance that Julia and Keeler would start a life long relationship. My mind has to tell me they did find one another for a lifetime. Perhaps another book down the road for me to discover. I hope so!

Captivating

A very well written story that grabs and holes your attention up to the end. Interesting fiction that deals with very real life issues. I enjoyed it very much.

Drenched in light

Once again, Lisa Wingate has sculpted a meaningful story. Each character comes alive individually, and meld together to develop a plot that so many young people today live out, as well as so many school systems, and the staff within. i’m so drawn to the spirituality that always flows through her books. Nothing that hits you over the head, but solid in faith.

Another amazing and awesome book.

Lisa hit a grand slam with this book. The interwoven message of this book in light of how messy your past may be there is always a way to turn all the negatives in an enormous positive. Thank you Lisa Wingate.
