Willow

Alyssa DePalma //Willow// Julia Hoban

This story is about a seventeen year old girl who never seemed to have things go her way. In this book, Hoban portrays a character that has to cope with many new struggles in her life. In the beginning of the book, the readers are told that Willow was driving when she got into a car accident and both her parents died in the accident she caused. This accident caused her to have to start a new life. Not only did she have to start this new life, she had to find a way to get through it too. Willow and her brother have to now find a way to cope and deal with their problems together without any secrets. Her older brother, David, is now her new guardian. I think this is a very good book because of the way the author portrays going from a complete low to battling back to be a better person.
