Haven't read Flowers for Rodney yet? Check out this review and then head to Amazon.com to buy your copy today! WHEWWWW !!!!!!!!! I just finished reading this really good book called "Flowers for Rodney" by a local author (and friend of Bikers for Books),  Kristine Bricke y . This is a great book that covers many struggles that our youth face on a daily basis. I had some very real moments while reading this books that had me reflecting on my own life at that age.

I cannot thank you enough for thinking of me and sending this book to me... ...the book touched me and honestly I don't know how to explain it.
