Nothing but Ghosts/Book Page Review and Contest Winner
Monday, June 22, 2009
Beth Kephart’s dazzling new novel is wise and wonderful, certain to be a revelation for young adult readers. As Katie makes a few necessary discoveries, she begins to let love in once again. In doing so, she honors an important promise, “a daughter’s promise: to live my life with my eyes wide open. To honor exuberance, and color.”
Excerpted from Book Page review, Ellen Trachtenberg
A few days ago, I asked how you might paint regret, a question that arises in Nothing but Ghosts. I was stunned—truly—by the depth of your responses. Moved, in some cases, to tears. You are wise, and you are rich, my blogging friends. Today my son chose a name out of a hat to select the winner. Farida Dowler, of Saints and Sinners, that winner is you. Please do send me your address.

Hi, Ed.
I have the URL in there, for those who might want to read more. I really don't know what the rules are surrounding excerpts — does anyone? — so I post as few lines of things as I can (though I posted much more with yours, I admit) and hope that that is okay. I am deeply grateful for this review.
Lovely review! Congratulations.
What a terrific review. And congratulations to Farida!
Congrats to Farida! What an amazing idea for a contest--wish I'd tuned in in time.
Painting regret, hm? That makes me think.
Congrats Farida! You will love this book!
Congrats to Farida.
Beautiful photo, Beth.
I'm honored! Thank you so much.
