Heaven Scent

Heaven Scent
By Rebecca Cornish Talley
Bonneville Books, 2008. 229 pgs. Young Adult

Liza is fed up with her father. Ever since he got a new job, he's never home--he even missed her championship basketball game. Her family is falling apart and Liza can't handle it anymore. At the same time, her mother reveals her interest in the Mormon church, and then tragedy strikes. Liza finds herself wondering if there is something in this new church that might bring her the peace she's looking to find.

Although some readers will find the dialogue to be somewhat stilted and think the story is a little corny, others will appreciate this young woman's journey to find faith and healing in the midst of tragedy.
