Multifaceted characters and dashes of mystery and romance come together in a successful meditation on the value of taking an active role in one’s life. Not unlike the snippets of Robert Frost poems that open each chapter and appear throughout, Kirby’s (In Honor) third novel is inspirational and contemplative in its mood and tone. Parker’s decision to read Julianna’s private thoughts and visit some of the sites mentioned in the journal causes Parker to consider that people aren’t always who they seem and that her own tendency toward obedience could have devastating effects on her future. Golden Title: Golden Author: Jessi Kirby Genre: Young Adult-Contemporary-Realistic Fiction Published Date: May 14th 2013 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Pages: 288 pg Seventeen-year-old Parker Frost has never taken the road less traveled. While Kat was thinking of something along the lines of Parker hooking up with her longtime crush, another opportunity falls into Parker’s lap: she comes across the journal of “girl-turned-myth” Julianna Farnetti, a former homecoming queen presumed dead after a car crash with her boyfriend 10 years ago. Kirby’s latest book is a beautifully written story that examines the myth and legend of a person versus their reality. Especially as, much like spring in upstate NY, there is snow when there should be sun and rain. In the last weeks of her senior year, buttoned-up valedictorian Parker Frost promises her adventurous best friend Kat that she will do something “Unexpected, worthwhile, and big” for once. Like, books that just scream I AM SUMMER, READ ME Well, I thought that Golden by Jessi Kirby is an utterly perfect spring book.

We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. Here’s “We are far too easily pleased” in its native surroundings, from the opening salvo of Lewis’s remarkable sermon “The Weight of Glory”: It’s only a six-word sentence - but the context’s essential, no doubt. It was only a few pages into the book - if it hadn’t been near the front, I may never have found it - when John Piper uncorked this revolutionary little claim from C.S. I emphatically did not enjoy reading and had made my way through high school and my first year of college leaning heavily on Cliff’s Notes. An older student, who was leading a Bible study on my freshman hall, picked Desiring God as our semester focus. Especially when it’s a short one.įor me, it was the spring of 2000 - perhaps you have your own story about being rocked by this shorty from Lewis. When one proposition proves potent enough to be life-changing for the better. It’s a beautiful thing when a single sentence reorients a soul for good.
