Narration During Books Where the Stars Still Shine

Stolen as a child from her large and loving family, and on the run with her mom for more than ten years, Callie has only the barest idea of what normal life might be like. She's never had a home, never gone to school, and has gotten most of her meals from laundromat vending machines. Her dreams are haunted by memories she’d like to forget completely. But when Callie’s mom is finally arrested for kidnapping her, and Callie’s real dad whisks her back to what would have been her life, in a small town in Florida, Callie must find a way to leave the past behind. She must learn to be part of a family. And she must believe that love--even with someone who seems an improbable choice--is more than just a possibility.

Assessment Of Books Where the Stars Still Shine

Only one thing about Callie's life is constant- her mother. The mother that took her away from her family over a decade ago. Now Callie's life consists of month-to-month apartments and hotels, food that she can get from a vending machine down the street, and clothes that she gets at local thrift stores boasting that town's names and schools to help her fit in. And let's not forget the slew of less than honorable men that her mother spends time with. But that life comes to an end when Callie's

I really enjoyed this book. It's got a bunch of gritty elements -- at the age of 5, narrator Callie was kidnapped by her troubled mother following a bitter divorce, and they've been on the run ever since; one of her mother's boyfriends molested Callie when she was only 8; Callie assumes boys only want her for sex and has never said no to anyone -- and yet, the story in many ways feels as sunny as the town in Florida where Callie is sent to live with her father at long last, and where she learns

Ever fallen hard for a band after their first album and stalked their every move/cover/single for the second album expecting the same auditory brilliance, if not better? Ever bought the second album just to land hard back down on Earth because, dear God, what the ever-loving HECK happened to that amazing band you love (or used to love at this point)?*points at this book*I loved Trish Doller's debut novel Something Like Normal. It was beautifully written, the romance well-crafted, the character

I still gave this a 5 star rating, even though I felt the ending was a bit rushed.Callie is reunited with her father after years on the run with her mother. She has missed out on so much, and her father now has a new young family.Callie has her own demons to contend with apart from trying to integrate into a ready made family. Alex helps her deal with some of the difficulties, but when her mother returns and tries to convince her to go on the run again, she has some major decisions to make.I

I've read it once or twice. I like it.

Initial reaction: Probably 2.5 - 3 stars from me. I wanted to like "Where the Stars Still Shine" much more than I did, but Callie was just too unlikable for me to get behind. She didn't really have a sense of responsibility, and while parts of that I could say that was probably due to her upbringing and circumstances, othertimes, it was a bit too hard to suspend disbelief, particularly since the coming to terms was a bit too quick to digest in the end.Full review:My reflections on Trish Doller's

This book was undoubtedly extremely good, I just found myself wanting more of everything really, leaving me with an unsatisfied feeling. UPDATE 07/09/16I've moved rooms and so therefore having to go through my book collection and have decided to donate some books, including this one. I just found it so lacking and just, something big was missing, and it was the connection to the characters that makes me love books like this, and I just didn't feel it at all here. It just lacked the Morgan Matson
