    Highly recommend! The new LOVE STORY

    This book is very different from Lawrence Kelter's other books. It's amazing how he can write so well in so many different genres.
    This is a tender moving story about young love and life. It takes place in Brooklyn where two young "almost" teens meet. They have more on their minds than the normal growing up things that teens usually think about, since Rocky is ill. Josh doesnt know this at first and falls for her, dreaming of her in a way that a 12 year old boy would.The story then unfolds into something more, and they both grow up a lot quicker than expected. Bring in a warm and caring great-uncle with memories to share and it gives you a great story. The ending is so touching that it made me cry!

    Reminded me of Love Story

    This is a touching story about two coming of age teens that delivers on all levels. The characters are fully three dimensional and the dialogue is so authentic you will smile as you read each passage. My favorite character was the the charming Uncle Jake. I found him laugh out loud funny. This book touched me. I give it my highest recommendation.

    Wonderful book

    Its like Love Story the movie but better, a testiment to the power of love. The story is about young love, im older and enjoyed it, but its also a great book for young adults. The characters are very richly defined and original. Season of Faith is a must read for all ages.
