You, Me, and the Colors of Life Kindle Edition
Faced with challenges from an early age, Janica has learned to celebrate and enjoy every day as a gift. Her life-affirming attitude fascinates Thomas, a shy young man who begins to see the rich colors of life in a whole new light. As she reveals a world he never could have imagined for himself, Thomas falls head over heels for the strong young woman and becomes part of her quirky circle of friends and her loving family.
Their generosity of spirit draws Thomas out of his shell. He finds strength in their visits to the children’s hospital where Janica volunteers, captivating the kids’ attention with her imaginative stories. But all too soon fate deals them a harsh blow. Can their love survive life’s obstacles?
You, Me, and the Colors of Life is a moving, hopeful story about the power of love and the power of living a life filled with joy.

Janice & Thomas fall in love shortly after Janice saves Thomas’s brother from jumping off a bridge. I don’t want to give too much detail about the story in fear of giving the plot line away but what I will say is be sure to have your Kleenex handy because this is a tear jerker yet very inspirational also. I love Janica’s character. She sees life through a ray of colors and manages to see the bright side of things even throughout the hardest struggles in life. She has a healthy perspective to life in general and brings hope and goodness to everyone she meets.
Janica is a vibrant beautiful young woman with a terminal illness yet she stills finds time to volunteer at the local hospice for young children. This storyline drew me in from the get go and is extremely well written. This is a new author for me and I will be checking out her page for any other up coming books.
I was fortunate to have won a kindle copy of this book from a ‘Goodreads Giveaway’.
Reviews posted on Amazon, B&N, Goodreads & Amazon.
I’d recommend this book to anyone who is curious about how to interact with terminally I’ll people, or anyone who desires a new outlook on life.
I gave 4 stars because I thought it was a good story, it made my heart sad and happy. I normally read fantasy novels, to the reality of this book was a good change of pace, but not as exciting as a fantasy story is.
I had not heard of this author before, but I’m so grateful that I found this book and will be looking for other titles by her.
upbeat vibe despite its inevitability of death.
How have I missed reading this book until now? It's a beautifully written story about finding the joy in everything you do, even among sadness and heartache. Finding love even though it is fleeting and making sure that those around you know that you love them.
I fell in love with Janica right away. Her exuberance made me smile, her straightforward truthfulness is refreshing, and her unapologetic show of love and other emotions is envious. And of course, her way of describing everyday objects with memorable colors is heartwarming.
I cried throughout the book, sometimes through laughter and sometimes through sadness. Yes, the book is about death. But it is so much more about life.
As always, I like to find a quote that promotes conversation or provokes introspection: "Isn't it amazing how quickly life can go from perfection to utter chaos? One minute you feel safe and carefree, and the next, fate knocks you down without mercy. Why is life that way?"
