This Is All He Asks of You

Luna is twelve-years old living in Washington, D.C. with her mother. She is very spiritual and experiences life more in depth than other people. She skips school one day to see a Saint from India. She sits in bliss most of the day and her mother is frantic when she finally returns home. The book is written as letters to her father. She has never met him but still wants to contact him. When her mother becomes sick and goes to the hospital unexpected, she stays with her neighbor, Garrick, a Viet Nam war veteran.

This book is a fast reading and I finished it in one sitting. The characters are well developed and the story flows well. The majority of the book is written from the perspective of a young girl. The scenery is very descriptive, and I was completely hooked. I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes books about experiencing life.
