Review: Page turning artistry

It's so refreshing to read a book that is well written and engrossing.  Barbara Morgenroth has a writing style that paints her characters with their thoughts and their actions, not with overuse of descriptive words as one reads so often. I find myself highlighting passages just because of the powerful picture they create:  "My phone rang and I picked it up like reaching for a soft blanket that would comfort me through my lonely night."  "Flash" deals with all the angst and woes of modern teenagers, but is written with classical artistry.  Having taught eighth grade reading, I would love to see her books on a school reading curriculum.  I truly believe young people would relate to the stories, and a teacher would have the opportunity to analyze artistic prose with the students, demonstrating how to paint with words.
