I'll Be There by Holly Goldberg Sloan

I'll Be There is not your typical romance.  Romance is only part of the plot in this book about human nature.  Sam and his brother Riddle have been constantly uprooted by their unstable father since Sam was eleven and Riddle was a baby.  Emily is a collector of people's stories, and believes everything is connected.  So when she sees Sam at the back of her church while she is singing "I'll Be There", she feels a connection. The story that follows is beautifully written and shows just how much people can be connected. 

5 stars
