Love Is the Higher Law
by
"This achingly lovely novel offers a startlingly accurate rendering of teen emotions while simultaneously capturing the exact feeling of the days and weeks following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. A critically important book that marries hope, love, fear, and devastation in the imminently readable story of three teens wading through the disorienting, devastating aftermath of a national tragedy."
