Opis

In 1950's America, two teens meet and fall in love during one momentous year. Carrie and Tommy have been invisible, fighting for their place in the world, challenging "us" versus "them" stereotypes. When they are together, amazing things happen--not only for themselves, but also for others. Carrie faces domestic abuse, isolation, and bullies, with her only companions being her angels, until she meets Tommy. In him she has a noble champion, one who not only fights for her honor, but one who also has a genuine compassion for others. Tommy is the quintessential hero who leaves everyone better for having known him. Lucky is a stray boxer who gives the ultimate gift of unconditional love to the teens. She is a tangible angel that Carrie can hug, take care of, and enjoy. Together Carrie and Tommy face life's most difficult moments with an enduring childhood spirit in this coming of age story of pure love, spiritual awakening, and hope that survives this physical realm.
