About this ebook

   In the vein of Eat, Pray, Love, but for teens, this inspirational novel is set against the backdrop of Tennessee horse country as well as the historic cities of Italy and the Italian countryside. The story unfolds as three teenage girls, recently graduated from high school, plan the next phase of their lives while dealing with immediate life issues. McDaniel subtly explores the many types of love the girls experience--including love for one's family, one's friends, and intimate love--and the sacrifices they choose to make (or not) for each of them.

Ratings and reviews

When I turned the last page, tears fell from my eyes. I have such happiness bc there's gonna be another book. But then such frustration at the author bc she gave me the 1st chapter to read of The Year of Chasing Dreams, then tells me I have to wait pretty much a whole freakin year for it to come out! I mean, SERIOUSLY????!!!!???

Loved it. Took me more than one sitting to read it though

One of her finest and I have all of her books!!
