A Different Blue

By: Amy Harmon

Narrated by: Tavia Gilbert

Blue Echohawk doesn't know who she is. She doesn't know her real name or when she was born. Abandoned at two and raised by a drifter, she didn't attend school until she was ten years old. At nineteen, when most kids her age are attending college or moving on with life, she is just a senior in high school. With no mother, no father, no faith, and no future, Blue Echohawk is a difficult student, to say the least.

Tough, hard, and overtly sexy, she is the complete opposite of the young British teacher who decides he is up for the challenge, and takes the troublemaker under his wing.

This is the story of a nobody who becomes somebody. It is the story of an unlikely friendship, where hope fosters healing and redemption becomes love. But falling in love can be hard when you don't know who you are. Falling in love with someone who knows exactly who they are and exactly why they can't love you back might be impossible.

Critic reviews

"The emotional fierceness of A Different Blue will cut to the core of the [listener]. Amy Harmon has written a story with such allure and relevance, and she has once again displayed how to eloquently write a story that will move the reader beyond words." (Romantic Reading Escapes)

Beautiful Blue.

Amy Harmon is a master at telling stories of people rising up out of hopelessness and finding courage to face the world around them. A beautiful story of identity and self worth, of the real kind of love and what happens when we open our hearts to grace.

She left the nest

This book catches you from the beginning. I felt I was Blue. This store felt so real, like I was living it with all in it. I felt every emotion from excited to devastation. I caught out loud with out resignation, my tears flowed like the rain. Hope when it felt lost exploded and came forward at all times of need. This book is beyond a five star book.

I fell in love! ♡

I love all of the different dynamics placed in this novel. You see how Blue overcame her struggles and confusion in the past. Then you basically hold hands with Blue while she deals with current struggles and confusion. My heart is filled with emotion right now. I have never had a book make me cry with sadness, cry with happiness, mourn or leap with joy. The author knows how to engage the reader to feel what Blue is feeling. I feel that authors skip writing about difficult things. The author of this book was not scared or lazy and I admire it. I know that I will be reading this again very soon. Thank you!

WONDERFUL!!

I loved this book. I can't help mourn those who didn't get the happy ending like blue's mom, and Jimmy with Stella but it's good so beautifully.
