Here's my review from Amazon.com. bookcloseouts.com had such a good deal on this book and I loved it so much I bought extra copies to release.

Traveling Light has some great characters, Summer, Todd and Jacob in particular. I was so completely caught up in the story of Summer and her family, I finished the book the day I started it. The author explores some big ideas- the effects of discrimination, how to live in the moment even as someone you love is dying; but the details are what compelled me to keep reading. I loved the stories of life on a farm, the world of dance and theatre, the highs and lows of teaching, all the stories that brought each character to that point in time and propelled them forward.
I thought this book would be sad, and parts were sad. But Traveling Light is about life not death, and about family, the family you're born with and the family you choose. It is about the daily choices one makes to live. I highly recommend this book!
