The Brilliant Light of Amber Sunrise by Mathew Crow

Update: School is out and I am getting back into book-blogging. I have only read one book in the short time I have had off school but it was a pretty good start.

This short and sweet tale from the life of Francis recalls his first love. Francis meets Amber Sunrise while staying in the hospital being treated for cancer. The book uncovers secrets from the past and the two even get into a bit of trouble. It isn't all happy and dreamy however, especially when Francis is getting better and Amber worse. I believe this book really teaches a lesson on the value of life and how each individual person has talents, thoughts, and beliefs that make each unique from one another. The Brilliant Light of Amber Sunrise isn't for everyone because it is really fast paced and wouldn't be enjoyed by those who dislike realistic fiction. In all, the book was a very sweet but virtuous lesson on life in general.
