A Northern Light
1 journaler for this copy...
Haven't read this book in a couple of years, but remember finding it very interesting and a good read. The inside cover reads: Mattie Gokey has a word for everything. She collects words, stores them up as a way of fending off the hard truths of her life , the truths she can't write down in stories. The fresh pain of her mother's death. The burden of raising her sisters while her father struggles over his brokeback farm. the mad welter of feelings she has fr handsome but dull Royal Loomis, who says he wants to marry her. And that secret dream that keeps her going - finishing high school, attending college in New York City, becoming a writer. Yet when the drowned body of a young woman shows up at the hotel where Mattie works, all her words prove useless. But in the dead woman's desperate love letters Mattie again finds her voice - and a strength and determination to live her own life.
