Pay It Forward by Catherine Ryan Hyde
5.0
It started as a school assignment for 13 year old Trevor. He invented the "movement" Pay it Forward. Doing something good and nice for someone in need just because they need it, with the stipulation that they "pay it forward". Trevor helped his elderly neighbor by fixing up her garden. She loved it and it made her happy to finally see her garden in it's glory again. Sadly, she passed away but her "pay it forward" good deed was to split her life insurance money three ways between the woman at the cat shelter and the two cashiers at the local grocery store who always asked how she was and actually listened. And then those three people paid it forward. It caught on and suddenly it was spreading everywhere!
There was more to the story, but I don't want to give it all away. I know this is an older book and a lot of people have already read it and have probably seen the movie based on the book, but the ending was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. I loved the book!
