Narration Concering Books Running Barefoot
When Josie Jensen, an awkward 13-year-old musical prodigy crashes headlong into new-comer Samuel Yazzie, an 18-year-old Navajo boy full of anger and confusion, an unlikely friendship blooms. Josie teaches Samuel about words, music and friendship, and along the way finds a kindred spirit. Upon graduation, Samuel abandons the sleepy, small town in search of a future and a life, leaving his young friend behind. Many years go by and Samuel returns, finding Josie in need of the very things she offered him years before. Their roles reversed, Samuel teaches Josie about life, love, and letting go. Deeply romantic and poignant, Running Barefoot is the story of a small town girl and a Native American boy, the ties that bind them to their homes and families, and the love that gives them wings.Rating Of Books Running Barefoot

'Running Barefoot' is touching and beautiful love story spanning a lifetime. Josie and Samuel's story began when they were assigned to sit together on the school bus. A seventh grader, Josie is soon enamored with the older boy. Despite a five year age difference, the two develop a strong friendship and fall in love. Neither of them voices, or acts upon, these feelings because of the significant age gap. Samuel is especially conscious of Josie's comparative youth and the immorality of pursuing3.5 starsI finished another book by this author yesterday and was on a high from it so decided to check out this one. My review will be mostly visual as I just do not have the time to do a full one.I think my expectations were way too high because I totally loved her other book. It is still a good story but not as engaging as the other book. It was too good to be true, too sweet to be reality for too long, so when someone set out to destroy his belief in her, it made more sense to doubt her
When I turned the last page of Running Barefoot my first thought was that it was such a sweet story. It was also thought provoking. For me that is what is at the heart of Amy Harmons writing. This is a story about two young people, Josie and Samuel, who make a connection during a time in their lives when they are finding their way. Josie was at the heart of her home. After her mom passed away she was forced to grow up quickly. But at the center of Josies life was her love for music. She
*4 Stars*This is the story of Josie and Samuel both of whom seem to be running barefoot as they find solace, courage, and friendship in one another. Josie is a child musical prodigy who was forced to grow up too fast and embody the role of "nurturing caretaker". Samuel is a half Native American boy who harbors anger and has yet to find his place in life. When these two lonely souls connect on a bus ride home, a heartwarming friendship forms that will seem fit to stand the test of time. And time
3.5 starsA sweet little second chance story about childhood friends with some angsty moments thrown in. Once again, I really enjoyed Amy Harmon's writing and her grasp of creating three dimensional characters. My only issue was that it slowed down quite a bit toward the middle and the end felt rushed. All in all, it was still a quick and fairly satisfying read.
Sweet story with very likable characters. The novel has lots of themes - love, coming of age, and faith to name a few. It's predictable but an enjoyable journey. Amy never disappoints!
So, I purchased this anthology of seven stories called Romance through the Ages for $.99 (a CRAZY good deal), and Running Barefoot is one of the stories. I hadn't heard of this author or this book, but I was just trying to read through the entire anthology.I HAD ZERO EXPECTATIONS. I WAS BLOWN AWAY.WOW. I started reading this and couldn't stop. Life would drag me away, but even when I wasn't reading, I was still thinking about these characters. I usually read novels very quickly, but I read this
