Kathrese's Reviews > Perfect Glass

This is a sequel that more than lives up to its mate in strength, voice, conflict, and growth. Henry is the main focus of this novel, and what a story! Henry experiences his watershed moment in Nicaragua as he works for an orphanage targeted for closure by the government. His heart is broken for the children, and he learns what it means to be a man who lives a bigger, better life than he could have ever dreamed.

For those readers who wonder about Meg, Henry's true love left behind in Montana to finish her senior year, not to worry; Ms. Kurk doesn't disappoint. Meg's life gets tangled with that of an ornery, elderly artist who pushes Meg to the limits of faith and endurance.

Love is a verb, and these two young people take the reader on a journey where love triumphs over darkness and pain and emerges stronger than before.
