"It;s not so easy being Rosemary Goode and tipping the scales at almost two hundred pounds -especially when your mother runs the most successful (and gossipiest!) beauty shop in town. After a spectacularly disastrous Christmas break when the scale reaches an all-time high, Rosemary realizes that things need to change. (A certain basketball player, Kyle Cox, might have something to do with it.) So begins a powerful year of transformation and a journey toward self-discovery that surprisingly has little to do with the physical, and more to do with an honest look at how Rosemary feels about herself."
"Thank you, breeze, for lifting up my kite wings past treetops tall and proud.Thank you, trees. Your branches are my playhouse. I?m climbing to the clouds!

Uplifting and narratively rich, this audiobook reminds us that the world isn't as large as it seems, and that life's greatest pleasures are the simple ones."

"If we take these children, we can never betray them, no matter what the Nazis do."
During the German occupation of France, twenty French children were brought to a refuge in the mountains. One day a young man came to their school with a request: Could they take in, and hide, ten Jewish refugee children?
Sister Gabriel spoke up. "The Nazis are looking for those children. If we take them we must never let on they are here. Do you understand?"
