Waiting on Wednesday 3/17/10

Posted on 17 March 2010

Waiting on Wednesday was started by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

The book I am eagerly anticipating this week is The Heart Is Not a Size by Beth Kephart.

Georgia knows what it means to keep secrets. She knows how to ignore things. She knows that some things are better left unsaid. . . . Or are they?

When Georgia and her best friend, Riley, travel along with nine other suburban Pennsylvania kids to Anapra, a squatters’ village in the heat-flattened border city of Juarez, Mexico, secrets seem to percolate and threaten both a friendship and a life. Certainties unravel. Reality changes. And Georgia is left to figure out who she is outside the world she’s always known.

Beth Kephart paints a world filled with emotion, longing, and the hot Mexican sun.

This book has been getting very good reviews!
