Publisher's Summary:

Since the horrific night a drunk driver slammed into their car during his driving lesson, young Teddy has had to live with the memory of seeing his beloved father, Stan, die.

Now just 16, he carries both sorrow and survivor's guilt. Concerned for her grieving son, Mary decides to put as much distance as she can between Teddy and the nightmarish Phoenix intersection that claimed Stan's life. She moves the family to Stan's small Indiana hometown, a place of peace in which she hopes they can build new memories. There, Teddy finds inspiration in an old book his great grandfather carried with him to America, a book Bulgarian fathers have always read to their sons.

Is Stan reaching out to his son from the grave?

Mary also makes an equally life-changing discovery in the small town - Rosetta, Stan's high school sweetheart. The deeper Mary digs, the more she learns of the forbidden love Stan and Rosetta shared. During the Civil Rights Movement, they dared to reach out for love across racial lines. Now as their three lives intertwine, Teddy, Mary, and Rosetta must make difficult choices. Will they choose happiness? Or will old pains cause them to live as victims of circumstances?

Beginning in 1912 on Ellis Island and told in three voices over four generations, I'll Always Be with You is a profound celebration of the power of family.

Love love love!!!

I would recommend this book to young adult readers and up. It has the right balance to be enjoyed and treasured by this wide range of ages. The combination of old world wisdom and contemporary life make a delight contrast while at the same time allows the reader to appreciate the similarities found in families and their importance and values throughout time.

Now what can we imagine for Teddy and his family in the 21st Century? This reader can't wait to find out. Perhaps the author will bring us "Teddy's Senior Year" or "Discovery, a new definition of Family" we need to find out how life evolves for our characters!

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I thought the character development was very good, easy to empathize with Teddy, and his mother Mary as well as Rosetta. I remember well the era of Rosetta and Stan's love, and how difficult a time it was for families and young lovers of different races. I hope for a sequel to discover how issues that were left hanging, may be resolved.

Striking me was the necessary love of family and friends to work through a tragedy

This book is about a real life tradegy and all of the challenges it brings to the family. It also brings out what can be learned from tragedy and how families can begin to put their life back together. Striking me was the necessary love of family and friends to work through a tragedy. The book was a mixture of sadness, happiness and some hutmor. Can't wait for the followup book!!

Wise and wonderful--highly recommend!

I couldn't put this down once I picked it up! A well-written story that poignantly touches on the best and worst of the human experience, with insightful cultural and historical contexts. It's a heartwarming read and one I've enjoyed gifting to others, as it's a book that most anyone will connect to. Looking forward to her next book!
