Industry Reviews "This is unapologetic, craftily constructed romantic melodrama, complete with hurricanes, stolen kisses, bloodstained steps....I hope Naylor had as much fun writing it as young adults are going to have reading it." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Janice M. Del Negro (02/20/2000)
