Although When the Leaves Fall is an adventure story, it is also a story about recovery. Seventeen year old Corey, controlled by peer pressure and addiction, develops the courage to change, which results in renewed self-esteem and learning to take control of his life."First there was Anne. Then there was Stephanie, and Steve and the others. But this is really a drama about what it means to come home. It all begins early one morning in a cold, dark cave." Recipient of a 2008 Mom's Choice Award, this book is "an especially well written novel for teens that would be a welcome and popular addition to any school or community library fiction collection" (Midwest Book Review)
