"Love Is the Higher Law looks at 9/11, and the days, months, and years following it, through the eyes, hearts, and minds of three New York teenagers. Levithan's story will be eye-opening for today's younger teens -- some of whom may have little memory of the actual attack -- and for older teens and adults it will help to make it clear that, however one reacted to the tragedy, you were not alone. A powerful book sure to touch all who read it." - Kat Goddard, The Bookloft, Great Barrington, MA

A delightful teen novel that shows how real life depends on your perspective." - Cathy Berner, Blue Willow Bookshop, Houston, TX

This is a wonderful story." - Judith Lafitte, Octavia Books, New Orleans, LA
