Far From You by Lisa Schroeder 
Even after Alice’s mom died of cancer years ago, she still feels like she can’t move on. It worsens when her father remarries to Victoria and her half-sister, Ivy, is born. The only things that keep her at peace are her best friend Claire, her wonderful boyfriend Blaze, her music and her faith.         
  
When a perilous winter storm traps Alice, Ivy, and Victoria, it seems as if there is no chance of surviving. Until Alice realizes that she isn’t as alone as she thought she was...
   
I loved Lisa Schroeder’s lyrical, free verse writing; it really made me feel Alice’s pain and almost experience what Alice was going through. She saw the world through shady lens, and almost forgot to take them off to see some of the brighter things in life. However, just like her mom’s favorite quote from Alice and Wonderland, “…it’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then,” Alice learned not to look back and just accept life as it is.

Far From You is a fast read about love and loss, and filled with emotional and raw, bittersweet moments. I think there’s something in this book that everyone can relate to.
