To make certain that her books are medically accurate, McDaniel conducts extensive research. She interviews health care professionals and works with appropriate medical groups and hospice organizations, as well as the Tennessee Organ Donor Services. "I study medicine and traditional grief therapy techniques to give the novels a sense of serious medical reality," she says. "I also study the Bible to instill the human element --- the values and ethics often overlooked by the coldness of technology."

Tal, a young Chosen boy, is climbing the Red Tower with his shadowguard to steal a Sunstone. He reaches just below the Veil when he hears a cry far below. For a moment, Tal thinks he has been caught, only to realize the scream was from his little brother, who has secretly followed him. It was he that was caught by a Spiritshadow. Tal decides it would be too risky to climb back down to help his little brother, so he proceeds to climb the Veil. He arrives above the Veil only to meet a Spiritshadow without a master, calling itself the 'Keeper'. After briefly fighting with it, it eventually sends Tal falling off the Red Tower.

On Writing:

"The importance of my old life is dimming as I move toward the bright light I've seen once before. It's allowing me to come to it, and this time, I won't be sent back. If only the people I'm leaving behind could understand! There is no sadness where I'm going. Only joy." — Lurlene McDaniel (Hit and Run)

"Sisters are made by living everyday with each other and wearing each other down until the rough spots are smooth. They're made by sharing secrets you'd never tell mom, and out of doing things for each other just because you feel like it, not because you have to. I guess you could say sisters are 'grown,' not manufactured, in a very special place called a family." — Lurlene McDaniel (Somewhere Between Life and Death)

the book ireviewed is called a Boy No More by Harry Mazer. Its about a boy named Adam, it thakes place in 1941. davi who is Adams friend and is Japanese wants Adaam to give his dad a letter who is in a interment camp, but when Adam gets there he finds Davi and the rest of his family there als. Adam finds out how racist people are to Japanenes at that time. i like this book beacuse it takes place during world war 2 and it shows what life was like at the home front. it takes place in californa.

A boy at war is about a teenager named Adam who’s growing up in a military family. His dad is in the navy so the house is run like a ship. Since he’s a navy brat who travels he’s always been to schools where there were other military families, but now since he’s in Hawaii he’s surrounded by civilians. He has it rough fur the first few days, but this kid named Davi starts picking on him a little and oddly enough they end up being buds. So they start hanging around with all the other Hawaiian kids. You know, play football and go fishing. It seemed like it was going good but when he told his dad, he said that he didn’t want him to be hanging around them because there was a lot of friction between the U.S. and Japan and since over half of the population was Japanese that his dad didn’t want to take any chances. One day he doesn’t listen to his dad and goes fishing with Davi and one of his other Hawaiian friends. They decided to go fishing in Pearl Harbor. They were going to go fishing off the shore but they find a boat in the bushes. So they go out in the ocean and coincidentally the Japanese decide to attack while they are in the ocean. But that’s just the beginning. See where the war tales Adam from there…..

The book I reviewed was called "Heroes Don't Run" by Harry Mazer. It's about a boy named Adam, who after Pearl Harbor joins the Marines and is shipped out to Okinawa and finds out what the war was really like. The book takes place mainly in South Carolina and Okinawa. I like it because it shows how daily life was for soldiers in the Pacific. I liked this book because it's a semi short book (at 112 pages) but it still has a great story line. It's a great war book so if you want a not long book this is it.
