Product Description
Nothing ever happened here. Nothing ever would.
Fifteen-year-old Kenny Wilson wants nothing more than to get out of Comfort, Texas---fast. Only three things stand in his way: getting enough money together, convincing Cindy Blackwell to go with him, and escaping the clawlike grip of his mother.
Amidst these problems, Kenny must also contend with tumultuous feelings about his alcoholic father (newly released from prison) and his growing guilt over leaving his baby brother behind in a wake of dysfunction. But as life at home becomes even more unbearable and threatens to destroy his plans, he is determined not to lose his dreams to a lifetime of waiting tables in his mama"s rundown caf. Propelled by desire and despair, Kenny discovers the power of words and how they can change lives in ways he never dared to hope for. He comes to realize that there"s a time to stop running and take a stand.

| It is hard for me to relate to problems within a family, but this book really opened my eyes to them. Comfort is an inspiring story about a 16-year-old boy whose family is a total wreck. Unlike Kenny, the boy, being motivated to get out of the town of Comfort would be a little harder for me. I like how he never once contemplated giving up on his goals and dreams of getting out of the town, and making it to Austin. I figured i would get off course more than once. The book, more or less, taught me to stick to my dreams and do whatever it takes to accomplish them. With rarely ever dull moments throughout, the book placed me inside Kenny's mind and took me places only Kenny experienced. Knowing how he felt about everything and what he was thinking was one of the biggest strengths of the book. It really kept me interested in the book. As soon as Kenny gets close to his friend Cindy, you can tell that his goals seem to alter just a little bit. I like how he gets a little messed up when a girl enters his life. It gives highschool kids an easier way to relate to Kenny. The book was easy to follow and was very intriguing. If you want a good motivational book, or just can relate to family problems, you'll enjoy this book. | | | | Page Turner! Jan 3, 2005 |
| There are no words to describe how good this book was. It's a page turner that you never want to put down. It's a emotional book that pulls you in. It's about a struggling 15 year old boy named Kenny. His mother trys to control his life, and his father is an ex-con. Kennny gets fed up with his mom and desides to do somthing with his life. This is a must read and i hope u like it as much as i did. | | | | Loved This Book! Nov 18, 2004 |
| From the very first lines, I was hooked. The writing is compelling, it just pulls you right in, and the storyline heartwrenching and dramatic. Kenny has a tough life, a controlling wacky mom who runs his life, an ex-con for a dad, but he holds on to his hopes and dreams and finds a way to escape and make a new life for himself. This is an incredible first novel by an author who's going places. Get this book today and settle in for a great read! | | |  | I don't know... Jun 5, 2004 |
I haven't finished this book, I'll be honest. I can't really find any reason to finish it, if you think you can persuade me, please do. I really did give it an honest effort and got kind of far but I just don't feel it.
I wish I had saved my money and bought something else.
I'm not telling you that you wouldn't like it, but I think maybe you'd be better off borrowing it from someone who has it, borrowing it from a library, or at least read a chapter before you buy it because honestly I didn't and can't say I ever could say I was "hooked".
I don't know...the writing seems odd to me...it's nothing special I guess. The story is good, and maybe it gets better but I can be a book-snob and if it's not good from the beginning I don't bother. | | | Write your own review about Strength For Soul : Comfort
