Lisa Schroeder is an amazing and inspiring author that I discovered last year when I picked up "far From You" off of our local library shelves. It was one of my very favorites of 2009 and I was thrilled she had more books out there. Chasing Brooklyn is written in her signature style of poetic verse which makes for a short and emotional read.
