I Believe You

Recently, I'd received an email from one of my choir mate, and have got to know of this book by chance. Realize that it was a good book after reading the forum which many says it was truly a touching story. And so for the last couple of days, I went searching for it throughout the island, every possible bookstore and it every possible way that I could locate the book. Unfortunately, it wasn't available anywhere else. I resort to online store, and in fact in no time I found the distributor. Made my purchase straight away and was delivered to my house last night. Brought to church this morning, to my surprise, everyone asked for that book, wanting to borrow it and read. Oh well, guess it'll be out of loan to at least 5 people after reading it myself tonight.
It has been a long time ever since I'd complete reading a book. This time round I was determined to do that having heard that it was a good and touching story one can read. After reading it, what I felt was true, it literally make me tear though you might see me as more resistant to some stuff where I'm a guy. I can say it's so well written that it has the ability to move people hearts.
The story titled "I Believe You" tells of 2 JC students – Joanna Fung and Jacky Wu where fate has decided to intertwine their lives to bring about hope and love, especially for the self-declared jynx Joanna who believes that she had a curse. It's a journey of self-discovery, learning to trust, appreciating those around you, and many more many more for our 'heroine', which is the beauty of the book - it draws you into Joanna's life and as she go through her self discovery process, we the readers would seems to have discover our own self in the process as well.
A phrase extracted from the book
"I am just like the sun and you the flower. I'll provide sunlight for you to blossom. Sometimes, clouds will prevent me from reaching you. But you’ll know that I'm always trying to reach you. Just wait for the clouds to clear if you can't receive my sunlight."
