Publisher's Synopsis
A daughter, sister, granddaughter, and friend; Allison Rivera's life was cut short at the young age of 18 years old in October 2011. "Allie" was an honor student at Minooka High School, Illinois, where she was an active member of the Kaleidoscope writing club. After her untimely passing, Allie's writings and excerpts were gathered from her personal journals that described the world through the eyes and mind of a young author. Within these pages you will find the writings of a poet, a romantic, an animal lover and a dreamer. And as Allie wrote, "You'll never know what you'll find when in a child's dreaming mind." Memorial scholarships have been established in Allie's memory to assist young adults in pursuing their dreams and achieving their goals.
