5.0 out of 5 stars Dreams don't shatter, just end up being rerouted, September 7, 1999

I've been reading Lurlene McDaniel since I was eleven years old. Now, at 23, I can appreciate her work even more as I get older. This novel was really good. I have family members with diabetes, so I really sympathized with the main character, Rachel. Rachel learns that dreams don't always shatter, but sometimes they need to take a different route.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!!, May 16, 1999

This review is from: When Dreams Shatter (Lifelines) (Paperback)

This was a very good book. It definatly isn't one of McDaniel's best, but it was good. It was actually the second book I had read of hers, now I have read almost all of them. This book is about a teenager, that all she wants in life is to be a ballerina. But when she is diagnosed with diabetes, she feels that her whole world has been destroyed. She soon meets a boy with the same problems as her, who helps her to cope with her disease.

I read "Last Dance." "When dreams shatter" is the older title of this book. Lurlene just gave the older book and new name but the book all around was great. I have read many of her books and enjoyed them all. She's a talented writer and her books bring reality forward. For anyone who thinks their lives are bad, try living a day with what some of these kids and adult are going through.
