Book 37: Redemtion Song

 By Melodie Murray

Ethan Carter is a 17 year old pop star sensation, living the dream, and yet missing out on what the dream really is.  When he makes a decision that almost wrecks his life his mother ships him off to Alabama to rethink who he is and where he is going.  In Alabama he is forced to live with his Grandmother, who he loves dearly, and her new "grandchildren", a 10 year old boy named Ben and a 17 year old girl named Alaina. He is rude and uncaring when he first meets them, but then begins to learn what family is really all about.  In the process he also begins to learn who he really is and who he wants to be.

The book had a lot of really emotional content and needed several Kleenexes to get through it. A great story about finding redemption in a place you wouldn't expect to find it in.

I'd give this book 5 stars.
