“I hate being a foster kid!” Fourteen-year-old Lissa had thought those words dozens, if not hundreds, of times over the last twelve years. She and her twin brother, Leigh, had been foster kids for as long as they could remember. Naturally shy, this life of bouncing around from one foster home to another, of changing schools mid-term, and of never having a real place they could call home had left Lissa with feelings of insecurity and doubt. Would they ever have a real home? Why didn’t anyone want them? Then one cold, winter afternoon, Lissa persuades her brother to make believe that a tunnel under a snow covered bridge is the entrance to a new world and a new life; together they walk through it, and it changes their lives forever.

Testimonials
“In my opinion, this is the best book Rebekah has written. Her writing style is so strong in this story. . . . The characters: Wow. Vivid, riveting…I loved them all.”

This book was amazing! I think it may have been my favorite by Rebekah Morris so far. I absolutely love how all her books have strong sibling relationships, and this book was no exception. Lissa was so sweet, though there were times I ached for everything she went through, and Leigh was just so sweet. I love their brother/sister relationship. It’s definitely a book I’ll be reading again!

I was super excited when I found out that Rebekah Morris had released another stand-alone book. After waiting a while until resources would permit it, I bought the book and read it in a day. ; )

After having read multiple excellent reviews online, I really wanted to read “Through the Tunnel”. This novel turned out to be not only amazing but is now also one of my favorite books. The story was sweet and lovely, but also very emotional. Lissa’s feelings were so touching and made me want to step into the novel and give her a hug.
