This Quiet Sky by Joanne Bischof

Back Cover Blurb:

There is nothing extraordinary about Tucker O’Shay’s dreams.
Go to college. Become president. Fall in love.
And pretend like he has enough time to get it all done.

Sixteen-year-old Sarah Miller doesn’t expect anything out of the ordinary when she begins her first day at the one-room-school house in her new hometown of Rocky Knob. But when she meets seventeen-year-old Tucker O’Shay—the boy with the fatal illness who volunteers to tutor her in algebra—she finds herself swept up in a friendship that changes the way she sees the world and a love that changes her life.

My Take:

This book is very much like it's name. It comes at you quietly but with a big impact. It has one of my absolute favorite scenes towards the end. Without giving anything away, it's the scene with a bird in the woods and it's a very beautiful spiritual moment. Sarah and Tucker's relationship is gentle and deep. This book is definitely a romance, but there are other non-romantic themes at play as well. It does have some sad parts that might be hard for a younger or immature reader. This would be a good choice for mature readers who like historical fiction. It's a fairly short read.
