Where the Red Fern Grows and Bridge to Terebithia.... both in middle school, both introduced me to death and betrayal.
The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood... I was in high school. I needed to believe that there was more out there than conformity.
The Alchemist - Paolo Coelho... I don't believe in a God, but some of the statements in here got me and made me more interested in opening up my mind towards things again when I'd totally shut down.
Veronika Decides to Die - Coehlo... a difficult time in my life, I got up the courage to kill a friendship after this one.
Jane Eyre - Bronte... 7th grade. I always knew I would fall for a tormented man. And I did.
