The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender
Author: Leslye Walton
Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 0763670340
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
A 2015 William C. Morris YA Debut Award Finalist Magical realism, lyrical prose, and the pain and passion of human love haunt this hypnotic generational saga. Foolish love appears to be the Roux family birthright, an ominous forecast for its most recent progeny, Ava Lavender. Ava — in all other ways a normal girl — is born with the wings of a bird. In a quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to fit in with her peers, sixteen-year old Ava ventures into the wider world, ill-prepared for what she might discover and naive to the twisted motives of others. Others like the pious Nathaniel Sorrows, who mistakes Ava for an angel and whose obsession with her grows until the night of the summer solstice celebration. That night, the skies open up, rain and feathers fill the air, and Ava’s quest and her family’s saga build to a devastating crescendo. First-time author Leslye Walton has constructed a layered and unforgettable mythology of what it means to be born with hearts that are tragically, exquisitely human.

Book Description
Lavender Seeds is a book of my accumulated poems throughout the years. The poems in this book can help other teens who’ve gone through similar hardships as me. They may not have been able to get the same help that I did. This is also a great book for parents to understand what their kids are going through. Being a teenager can be stressful sometimes, you feel as though the world is against you and you can’t complain. A lot of times parents tend to get shut out of their teens life, most teens do that because they feel as though they have no choice. This not only occurs between teens and their parents, but also through many friendships as well. I hope this book gives you that push to open up to your family, friends, and anyone who cares. I hope it motivates you to love yourself and reach your full potential.

Since he's taken the reins of the troubled company, he doesn't have the time to dwell on Francesca-much. But with all his siblings falling in love and marrying, the emptiness of his life stretches before him, lonely and bleak. But when world events take a turn again, Quinn knows it's now or never. Given that Francesca has become one of the most sought-after business consultants for the Fortune 500, he contacts her to come help him steer Merriams Enterprises clear of disaster.When Quinn calls her about working with him to right his business, Francesca knows she should say no. She prides herself on what she's built, and working with Quinn offers temptations she doesn't want to feel. But she's never healed from their shattering break-up, and perhaps this is the opportunity for closure. It's time to move on. What better way than proving to herself that they're over, once and for all?Except events take a dark turn and threaten to destroy everything they've both worked so hard for. Even with the Merriam family at his back (and the matchmaking trio he can always count) he's not sure there's a solution in sight-for Merriam Enterprises or Francesca and him.
