The doctors assure Erin Bennett and her parents that they can't find a physical cause for her headaches. But the throbbing, violent pain is so intense that Erin knows she needs help. Even landing the lead in the senior musical opposite David Devlin, the good-looking, popular guy everyone else is wild about, doesn't give Erin much pleasure. In fact, she finds David so annoying that her headaches are getting worse.



Erin knows that the headaches started just after the death of her younger sister, Amy, one year ago. She though her grieving was over, but somehow the headaches must be connected to Amy. The therapist Erin starts seeing begins to help her deal with her pain, but what is it about David that triggers Erin's violent reaction?

This review is from: Time to Let Go (A Bantam starfire book) (Paperback)

Time to Let Go by Lurlene McDaniel is a fiction book about a teenage girl, Erin, who lost her sister, Amy, in a car accident. After the accident Erin started getting headaches and she ended up going to a therapist, Dr. Richardson, to see why she had the headaches. Erin's big question that eventually gets answered is "Do you think I'll ever get well?"
After Amy's death her house became quiet unless her parents were fighting. Erin enjoyed acting and dancing so she went into the school play. She soon met a guy named David who really liked Erin, but she didn't like him.Erin started getting along with him so they started to date. They both were involved in the play and they were the stars of the play. Erin's headaches were less painful when she hung out with David, but that wasn't always the case.
I would recommend this book to teens and adults who like a little romance and medical books. I chose this book because I enjoyed other books by Lurlene McDaniel. This book is 162 pages with lots of action on each page.
