Soaring Through Stars: A Contemporary Young Adult Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780996180115)

Praise for the Swimming Through Clouds Trilogy "It is the rare author who can end an emotionally compelling trilogy with the same resounding truth from which it was formed, but turned inside out. In Soaring through Stars, Rajdeep Paulus does exactly that. Crafting her characters' inner growth at a believable and often heart-wrenching pace across the series, this final book extends an exquisite peace to hearts where extreme fear used to dwell. This series should be on the shelves of every American high school. Soaring through Stars is a beautiful, perfect ending to a truly exceptional series... Don't miss this one." Serena Chase, USA Today's Happy Ever After blog, author of The Ryn "Rajdeep Paulus writes young adult fiction with a new kind of hero...Despair and cruelty haunt its pages. Raj's most heroic characters find the strength to be compassionate at moments when it would be much easier to stand by and do nothing." Amazon Author Success Story "Tough and touching, resilient and raw-Rajdeep Paulus has crafted a story of love and abuse with the deft touch of a master...and she never averts her pen from the realities that face far too many women and children." Tosca Lee, NY Times Bestselling Author of Havah and The Books of Mortals series with Ted Dekker "Deep, sometimes quite dark, and very emotional YA story." Once Upon a YA Book Blog *** "I live in the in between. Between holding on and letting go. Hurt clings to me. Hope teases me. Home. I can't explain it, but sometimes, I just want to go home." Talia and Jesse Vanderbilt have escaped a childhood full of abuse, and with the help of their friends have found the courage to publicly tell their stories. When they face obstacles trying to have their father convicted, the siblings can't help but consider the option to walk away and move on with their lives. Someone unexpected brings his own secrets, forcing the Vanderbilt teens to revisit their pasts and rethink their plans. Through it all, Lagan and Talia's Post-it love story blossoms, while Jesse and Summer hit roadblocks. From the award-winning author of Swimming Through Clouds and Seeing Through Stones comes a powerful story of freedom and belonging in this final book of the young adult trilogy that began with an invitation on a little Post-it note.
