Guide Review - "Starry, Starry Night" by Lurlene McDaniel
The holidays can be a stressful time. People worry about themselves, what they want for the holidays and what they want to give others. It can be very easy to lose sight of the true meaning behind it all. 'Starry, Starry Night' helps put it back in perspective with three stories about teens facing difficult challenges and coming through in inspiring ways.
Through Lurlene McDaniel's beautiful storytelling we see teens as real and caring people with the ability to rise above adversity and heartbreak to reach a higher understanding about the things that matter. Teens helping teens, teens being friends to others, and teens thinking about what is right rather than what they want. A heartwarming look at the angelic side of teens.
