The Message, Call me! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615949949)

Rawly Scott dreams of being an astronaut. But it's the nine-year-old's message launched off a Massachusetts beach that truly kickstarts his journey. And when he gets a reply one year later from a cool European girl, he stops thinking of rockets and starts planning out a trip to France.

All Leigh Dobrev wants is to make delicious chocolate. But when Rawly's bottle washes up in her picturesque fishing village, she starts to see a world beyond her dreams. And after they finally meet several years later, she makes him promise to keep their friendship alive.

As years pass and adulthood approaches, Leigh turns her attention to helping a local orphan. But when her acts of kindness backfire, she hopes her own message will reach Rawly in time.

Will their relationship end in tragedy or is no distance too far for a shot at love?

The Message: ... Call Me! is the second book in the Footsteps series of romantic thrillers. If you like spunky heroines, love-against-all-odds, and the triumph of the human spirit, you'll adore Mary Jane Forbes' enthralling tale.
