Hi Mayrie, The people who have been on the list for a long time will think I sound like a broken record because I have made this request before. "To Catch a Golden Ring" by Marilyn Donahue There have been two attempts to scan it, one by Shelley, who usually gets great scans. However, on this one there were whole pages throughout the book that just did not scan. Sounds encouraging, no? <smile> Anyway, it is about a thirteen-year-old girl whose best friend, not lover, loses his legs trying to escape from the street on which their families live, because he thinks he will have no opportunities. Part of the story takes place in a hospital, and there are a lot of people of different ages who help each other. It may not be your type of book, but I have always thought it would be a great addition to the collection. Would you consider scanning it? If so, I would gladly validate it. Thanks for reading this anyway, Sue S.
