Heaven is wonderful, short, poetic, lovely, realistic, painful, beautiful. I just don't know how writers like Angela Johnson do stuff like this- create books that just get right into your heart, mind and soul. Heaven is the story of fourteen-year-old Marley who finds out that her folks aren't really her folks and her Uncle Jack, really isn't her uncle Jack. Bobby and Feather from The First Part Last are friends of Marley's and it is good to see how they are doing. Fantastic book. Not necessary to read First Part first. But read it at some point, because it is wonderful, too. Not a lot of action in this book, but that's not what it is about, you know? It is a smooth, poetic look at a young girl's life and the changes that she faces when she discovers the truth about her parents.
