Yes!  I've read and loved both of them.  If Speak is the book I'm thinking of, it was also made into a Lifetime movie (which wasn't too bad) last year, I think.  Another book you may like is "The Only Alien on the Planet", by Kirsten Randle.  Have you read anything else by Francine Rivers?

Being for the benefit of Mr. Kite, the renowned paperback writer, Sexy Sadie felt she simply couldn't refuse to attend the reception. Crossing Penny Lane she spotted Jude. He looked awful!\n"Hey Jude!" she said. "What's up?"\nJude replied, "I heard the news today, oh boy! About Eleanor."\nSadie blinked, then said, "You mean Eleanor Rigby? "\n"Yes," said Jude, "Father Mackenzie says she's leaving home. She's got a ticket to ride somewhere. He says to let it be, but I'm down."\n"Oh Jude," said Sadie. "You mean, she's leaving for another man?"\n"No," said Jude, "For no-one. I told her not to be a day tripper; I told her we can work it out, but she just sighed and said "You can't buy me love!"  Now this boy really feels like the fool on the hill!"\nSadie tried to take his hand, but he pulled away.\n"Oh Jude! Don't let me down! I want to hold your hand, that's all! You know she loves you! Yesterday, I saw her in Strawberry Fields, you know that long and winding road there? She said she loves you!"\n"Ha!" said Jude, as they entered the Banquet Room in Abbey Road, "She's a woman, but based on things we said today, I mean nothing to her! I am the Walrus staring out at sea as the yellow submarine of my dreams sinks below the surface ..."\nSadie handed Jude a double brandy and took a double vodka lime for herself. They watched the band warm up. Sadie groaned when she saw who was playing .... \nJude shook his head and said, "It's been a hard day's night, Sadie. Why can't Eleanor and I just come together?"\n"Well, Jude, you know, life is often just a magical mystery tour." replied Sadie.\n"Sorry to "spoil the party","  a nasty voice sneered.\nSadie looked behind and saw Sergeant Pepper leering at them. His "Lonely Hearts Club Band"  had begun without him, and he was the last person she wanted to meet.\n"Lady Madonna!" she hissed.\n"Now, now, Martha my dear! No need to swear," said the Sergeant. "Please please me and say you'll twist and shout with me while the band plays on?"\n"You know my name!" retaliated Sadie. "And when I dance with you, that's the day the blackbird's singing in the dead of the night!"\n"Oh Sadie, love me, do!" said Sergeant Pepper.\nHe lunged for Sadie.\nSadie cried "Help! I need somebody!"\nJude flung his drink into the Sergeant's eyes and yelled "Get Back!"\nThe Sergeant tried to say something, but then Sadie and Jude were surrounded by bouncers.\nThe biggest one warned Sergeant Pepper. "Hey, you've got to hide your love away!" \nAnother added "From me to you, loser, you can't do that!"\nAs the sergeant was being manually evicted from the premises, he looked over his shoulder and said, "I'll get you! I'll get you all!"\nJude and Sadie left not long after.\nOut in the rain, Jude said to Sadie, "It's always been this kind of "hello - goodbye" thing between us, Sadie but thank you girl. Don't ask me why but I feel fine now."\nSadie walked away with a rubber soul.\nIn the distance, Jude was shouting, "P.S. I love you!"\n"Yeah," thought Sadie, "Like Lucy in the sky with diamonds! Loser! Jerk!"

Well, I enjoyed them both. \n\nHer new one is good too - I love the chapter where she explains why everyone can be rude to people around them - because they are trying to pretend they are alone in their own bubble and there are no others.

Gone With the Wind is truely my favorite. You have to stick with it though, because Margaret Mitchell moves the story at a sometimes-slow pace... It is a classic! My very favorite. Another great older book would be basically, anything by Mark Twain, John Steinbeck, or, another one of my favorites, Arthur Miller. (Arthur Miller is a playwright, but his plays are amazing.) \n\nEnjoy reading!!!

1 There's sunny, a small baby, with short hair, and very sharp little spaced out teeth. She's very nice, except when someone is mean, then she bites. SHe usually only uses her teeth for good though. She only talks in ababy-like goo's and gaas that violet and her brother understand There's Violet, she's tall, with her hair always tied back when she's thiniking. She's the thiking, englineer one of the bunch. Then there's Klaus, the middle child. She has large glasses that he can't see without. He is an avid reader, and can pull unfo from his memory easily. Aunt Josephine,  a timid woman afraid of everything. Captain Sham is count Olaf in disquise. He has a peg leg. \n\n2. The theme is, "Often in life people will overcome insanely large obsactles to live, and to help their families"\n\n#3.The setting is gloomily morose (whihc means all sad and bad like)\n\n4. The conflict, in all these books, is that the children are trying to escape the deeds of Count Olaf who cleverly disquises himself in each book, attemptin got get the orphans fortune.\n\n5. They are man versus man conflicts, and tamporaily they aresolved, but they come back in the next book, with even more conflicts
