“Eternity Can Wait” by Paula
Bell
“Eternity Can Wait” is a magical,
Young Adult novella.
Part paranormal romance, part
modern-day fairy tale, it’s a story full of danger, hope, and love.
Jilted by her boyfriend and abandoned by
her best friend, Jenny’s summer is shaping up to be a complete disaster. Even
her college plans have been wrecked by her ex-boyfriend and the blonde
cheerleader he dumped her for. Jenny is facing the prospect of not only a
miserable summer, but also a long and unexpected gap year alone.
The only thing that gets her off the
sofa and out of the house is the thought of visiting her aunt, and meeting up
with some old friends out of town.
Jenny’s journey doesn’t run smoothly.
With her car abandoned at the roadside in the middle of nowhere, she faces a choice. Does she head back home, or should she
take a risk and continue on foot through the notorious woods she’s grown up
hearing so many eerie stories about?
A mysterious stranger steps
in to help her. When
Jenny finds out who, and what he really
is, nothing will ever be the same for her again.
Some of my favorite paragraphs:
Christian
took her into the woods away from the village. They came to a small clearing,
where beautiful flowers and lilac bushes grew. The air carried the fresh scent
of fir and pine. The forest was glowing in gold and green under the bright
sunlight. Jenny walked slowly, trying to absorb every moment.
There
was a sunny place, where some flowers were crestfallen. They looked as if they
would fade soon. Jenny felt sadness at the sight. Christian noticed it in her
eyes, and walked slowly to the flowers. He reached out his hand to them. They
suddenly stood up as if they had been moved by an invisible force, and they
looked fresh again. Jenny couldn’t believe her eyes.
“You
are taking my breath away!” she said, astonished.
“I
am sorry!” He looked at her with concern.
“No,
that’s nice! How did you revive the flowers?”
“I
have the gift to heal, but it’s not strong enough.”
“Can
you heal people?”
“Yes,
if they haven’t been hurt too badly.”
