![]() ![]() As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she'd have to make - between honesty and deceit, love and duty, good and evil. ![]() Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place - and out of place at the same time. Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realises, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. ![]()

Wagler, who now works at a building and supply company in Lancaster County, Pa., deserves praise for his honesty. The memoir is worthwhile as much for its Amish insights as for its exploration of one man’s emotional turmoil, regret, and shame. It was a “paradox that would haunt me for almost ten years: the tug-of-war between two worlds.” His tale of restlessness looks acutely at the clash of family ties with love of freedom.

This memoir offers a nuanced account from a man who straddled both Amish and “English” (non-Amish) worlds. Filmmakers, academics, and novelists have offered depictions of Amish life. ![]() ![]() ![]() One of these fantastic technologies, tied to time travel, accidentally uncovers a conspiracy on a grand scale.

I took the top bunk, to be closer to the stars, while Owen took the bottom, to be closer to the bathroom.Īnd since we’d always been the only set of twins at Lewis and Clark Middle School, it hadn’t mattered that we didn’t look or act the same.
