Or, at least, saved her from a life of bitterness and despair. Writing helped her sort out what she thought and felt and wanted. And digging deep into fictional characters helped her understand the real people in her life better as well"--Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 808.02 Va Checked In Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 808.02 Va Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 808.02 Va Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.02 Va Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 808.02 Vitamin D Checked In Add Copy to MyList
