Relation Supposing Books Gives Light (Gives Light #1)
"Skylar is my name, tragically."Sixteen-year-old Skylar is witty, empathetic, sensitive--and mute. Skylar hasn't uttered a single word since his mother died eleven years ago, a senseless tragedy he's grateful he doesn't have to talk about.
When Skylar's father mysteriously vanishes one summer afternoon, Skylar is placed in the temporary custody of his only remaining relative, an estranged grandmother living on an Indian reservation in the middle of arid Arizona.
Adapting to a brand new culture is the least of Skylar's qualms. Because Skylar's mother did not die a peaceful death. Skylar's mother was murdered eleven years ago on the Nettlebush Reserve. And her murderer left behind a son.
And he is like nothing Skylar has ever known.

Besides, its also a journey of coming to terms with who and what you are--accepting there is nothing wrong with you. Our main protagonists are Skylar the mute, calm and very mellow sixteen-year-old boy who meets the same-aged Rafael on the
The song of this story is gorgeous. It flows beyond the pages and touches you; leaving you forever changed. My heart is full...my heart is happy...my heart now contains pieces of Skylar and his world. I believe a Native American proverb pulls my thoughts together nicely. There is a battle of two wolves inside us all.One is evil. It is anger, jealously, greed, resentment, lies, inferiority and ego.The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy and truth.The wolf

Maybe its a weird thing to say in a review about a book I chose to read, but here goes. I feel grateful for having experienced Gives Light. This book was one of the most unassuming, comforting novels I've read in quite a long time. Its one of those books that sits quietly, patiently on your shelf, and once you've read the last page, you wonder how in the world you waited so long to start. If you asked me to describe it in just one word, out of ALL the words, I could tell you instantly, and
Gives Light is a like a long walk in the woods. Its not an overly tense, angsty, or action-packed book. Its a quiet, thoughtful, and meaningful coming-of-age story with a sweet YA-level romance between two teens, the son of a murder victim and the son of the murderer.The story is told by sixteen-year old Skylar, whose throat was cut when he was five by the same man who killed his mother. Skylar survived, but lost his voice. After the attack, his father packed him up and they left the Shoshone
I have no idea how to describe my feelings once I'd finished this story, it was absolutely beautiful, and I'm so glad Trish recommended it to me and Rosa made me boot it up the queue. It was perfect, completely captivating, any and all superlatives you care to use, this wonderful, wonderful book deserves them....it was a privilege for me to read it. 5 stars on here, but worth millions AND 5 GLITTERING GOLDEN STARS This is the amazing story of Skylar and Rafael, and yes, you did read my shelves
