The Big Sandy Mountaineer -

This week Vicki picked a new novel by famed novelist Danielle Steel. Called “BLUE”, it is the story of dark secrets revealed, second chances and the power of love and courage to overcome life’s greatest challenges.

Ginny Carter was once a rising star in TV news, married to a top anchorman with a three year old son and a full and happy life in Beverley Hills. That is until her whole world dissolved in a single instant on the freeway two days before Christmas. In the aftermath, she pieces her life back together and tries to find meaning in her existence as a human rights worker in the worst areas around the globe.

Then, on the anniversary of the fateful accident, and wrestling with the lure of death herself, she meets a boy who will cause her life to change forever again. Thirteen year old Blue Williams has been living on the streets, abandoned by his family, rarely attending school and utterly alone. Following her instincts, Ginny reaches out to him. Leery of everyone he runs from her again and again. But he always returns and each time their friendship grows.

“BLUE” is available now at the Big Sandy Library.
