I've Missed a Sunset or Three - Paperback

by Phyllis Anderson Wood (Author)

"Rachel," I said, "tell me truthfully, are you afraid of me?" "Yes," she said, looking away, "I''m afraid of everybody." For months everyone had been telling me something was wrong with me. I knew it and really didn''t care. My world was dull and gray and that was a safe way to be. Then one night I met Rachel. I had come to the party to find out what was wrong with me. But this girl? I could see her, and talk to her, but I couldn''t get near her! I was so busy trying to help Rachel that I didn''t realize what she was doing for me. Neither of us noticed when the world crept back into our lives. We didn''t even know it was happening until the day we discovered we had learned how to feel again. "The action begins on the first page, and the reader''s interest never lags until the satisfying conclusion. . . This is not a sentimental, silly book, but a story rich in sentiment, one that many readers, both girls and boys, will enjoy. An excellent choice for the church library." --Provident Book Finders "A boy''s kind of love story . . . The strength of the book lies in its close examination of both the personal risks and pleasures involved in the relationship of the two young people." --Journal of Reading
