PAPER HEARTS by S. R. Savell is story of great trials,
masked in the world we call home. From the neglectful
family, to the abusive school girls it is about
overcoming and dealing with what we have been handed, but
most importantly it is about surviving.
Michelle Pearce
is the girl who has an attitude because she can. She is
mad at the world and the world can't stand her, but her
best friend, newly acquired, has all the making of being a
bully, except one. He is the kindest person Michelle has
ever met, and this intrigues her.
From working at a convenience store to dealing with her
mother pretending to be a mother, or not caring to try.
Michelle gets in all kinds of trouble, both at school and
work. She has a bad attitude and refuses to put up with
peoples stupidity.
Nathaniel Slater on the other hand has
all the patience in the world, which comes in handy,
being that he is a very tall boy, who gets awkward
stares at every corner. Together they make each other
better, they take care of each other and they deal with
all of the mess that has been thrown their way. Every
time things seem to be turning up, they crash right back
down.
PAPER HEARTS will pull at your heart from the beginning.
The relationship S. R. Savell creates between mother and
daughter is so real, and yet none of us would ever want
to see such a dilapidated relationship between such an
important pairing. More so PAPER HEARTS takes a rather
sharp turn near the end. In the moment the turn can
confuse anyone, but when you realize what Savell is
doing, you won't be able to hold the emotion in.
PAPER
HEARTS is nothing more than an excellent telling of real
life events, events that many are unaware of, but
desperately need to be. S. R. Savell created a book that
captures the audience and breaks them down along with
Michelle. It is a book you would be sorry not to read!
A pushy counselor, school bullies, a neglectful mother,
and
a dead father have ruined seventeen-year-old high school
senior Michelle Pearce’s perspective on life. A social
reject living in self-imposed exile, Michelle has little
use
for anything or anyone—until Nathaniel comes along. A high
school dropout who works three jobs to care for his dying
grandmother, he’s all but convinced Michelle that there is
some good left in humanity.
And then humanity proves him wrong. The unforgivable
happens, destroying Michelle’s newfound faith in life and
threatening to unravel a love in the making.
