Kyland
by
Mia Sheridan
Dirt poor. Hillbilly. Backwoods hick. Mountain folk.
Tenleigh Falyn struggles each day to survive in a small, poverty-stricken,
coal mining town where she lives with her sister and mentally ill mother. Her
dream of winning the college scholarship given to one student by the local coal
company and escaping the harshness of her life, keeps her going.
Kyland Barrett lives in the hills, too, and has worked tirelessly—through
near starvation, through deep loneliness, against all odds—to win the Tyton
Coal Scholarship and leave the town that is full of so much pain.
They're both determined not to form any attachments, but one moment changes
everything. What happens when only one person gets to win? When only one person
gets to leave? And what happens to the one left behind?
Kyland is a story of desperation and hope, loss and sacrifice, pain and
forgiveness, but ultimately, a story of deep and unending love.

My 5 star review
First off this book
is amazing!! This book was inspired by Taurus and well I am a May baby...
Kyland Barrett is very poor and some
months the lights/heat are on and well some months they aren’t. He is a young
man still in high school trying to make ends met by doing what he needs to do to
survive. His main goal is to get through school and win a full ride scholarship
so he can leave and run away to New York. He has had to deal with so much all
alone and it broke my heart. It amazed me how unbelievable he is and the fact
that he still goes on with everyday life, when he could have given up months
ago.
Tenleigh Falyn is also poor and she
is trying to make ends meet too. Her father ran off when she was a young girl. She
and her sister have to be the adults in the home and help their sick mother at
the same time. She too has the same goal as Kyland...school and getting the
hell out of town. Her main goal is to get win that scholarship and run to
California.
These two young
people become friends because let’s face it we all need someone. We can't get
through this world on our own. We need friends, a hug, a kiss, and a shoulder
to cry on. I truly love the bond that the two of them have. They have such a
strong friendship and it is freaking adorable.
While reading this
book my heart broke for both of these characters. They have the *hit end of the
deal with everything that they both have been through. I want them to have a
happy ever after. Then the author throws a huge bomb and then boom Tenleigh
and Kyland part from each other. They don't see each other or speak for
4...yes 4 years!!!
This book is amazing
and there isn't one part of it that I disliked. Mia Sherdian you are brilliant
and I enjoy reading everything you write. You want secrets, lies, love,
romance, and true everlasting love...then you want to go out and get this book.
Trust me when I tell you that this book pull at your heartstrings.
Oh and one last
thing....I love Kyland and I was shocked and so happy with how the book ended.
