Summer Reading Book Profile 2: Leaving Paradise

This is the 2nd in a series of 16 posts highlighting books on our Summer Reading list. In a few weeks, students will select one book from the list to enjoy reading over the summer and to take part in our Summer Reading Celebration Day on September 17, 2014. This post features Leaving Paradise by Simone Elkeles from our "Connections of the Heart" romance and family category.  This is the story of Caleb, who got behind the wheel drunk, and hit Maggie. She now walks with a limp & her social life is nil while Caleb has just been released from prison. The two are outsiders, a criminal & a freak, yet they end up finding comfort and strength from a surprising source: each other! For more information about this novel, please click on the image.
