There You'll Find Me / Jenny B. Jones / 314 pages / R.T. Reviewer's Choice Award

Jenny B. Jones is a high school teacher in Arkansas and has won the Carol Award four times, deservedly.  This awesome book deals with the loss of a loved one and the aftermath of this loss.  Finley Sinclair's brother, Will, was killed by a bomb blast in Afghanistan where he was setting up schools.  Finley reacted badly to his death and got in with the wrong crowd and did things she now regrets.  She in on her way to spend her senior year at an all-girl Catholic school in Ireland, when she meets teenage vampire movie heartthrob Beckett Rush.  Finley is determined to follow her brother's travel journal, experiencing what he experienced, find the Celtic cross on the otherwise blank last page, and complete her composition for her audition at the New York Conservatory.  Staying at an Irish bed & breakfast, she deals with anorexia, a dying pseudo-grandmother, and an arrogant lovable Beckett, as she reconnects with God.
