Summer is in full swing and I have the perfect beach read for you; The Gifted Ones by Lisa Vaughn. So, dig your toes in the sand and lose yourself in this beautiful story.
Back Cover:
Have you ever been so in love that your daily breath depended upon one another?
Have you ever been pushed to unfathomable limits just to defend your beliefs?
Have you ever been made to feel like the underbelly of society?
Have you ever been thirteen?
Well I have, and this is my story.
My Thoughts:
Lisa's story is tender and heartwarming. I went through many emotions reading this book, I laughed, cried and I even felt my cheeks flush. It was as if Lisa were whispering secrets in my ear, her words so personal, so honest.

Lisa has a creative writing style. She knows how to weave a beautiful story, her words flowing like honey off the pages, whisking you deeper into her life. Lisa's book has some gut wrenching moments, but her story is intriguing, beautiful and innocent.
Don't just take my word for it, here are a couple of reviews on The Gifted Ones
