Indeed there is no person without an attribute, this is what we call the uniqueness of an individual. Even though Allan in the societal view may not fit in, she finds the unique part of her which is enough to place her in stardom.

It's interesting that the girl has acausal parallelism, which I've never heard of before.
To illustrate the perspective of a girl by using incorrect grammar seems realistic. The story of her growing feels inspiring and hopeful.
Thanks for the review!

The book chronicles the journey of a young prodigy. I liked the strategy of progressing the story through different characters' POV. Thanks for the awesome review!

I appreciate the story of a gifted girl. Despite suffering from dyslexia, I am glad the girl discovered her gift through a spiritual mentor. Thanks for the review.

Latest Review: EXXXXCUUUUUSE ME? A Satire on Publishing by Richard Stephenson

"Beyond the Headlights," written by Allan Davis shows that there is largely no limitation to possibilities on a willing determined soul. This is the case of Aiyana, who despite being plagued with some constraints: difficulty reading, understanding, and writing, makes great use of her special gift to coast to success. The story of her rise to stardom is surely an inspiration to many, but then I am a little bit saddened to read from this review that the events surrounding her rise to stardom and details going forward were not given full attention; perhaps, a sequel is underway.

Reading this review alone has taught me of a scientifically proven disease known as acausal parallelism. I would say this disease is a good one in disguise.

Sounds like an encouraging book. It raises awareness of dyslexia while also encouraging talent. I love the positive message. Can't wait to read it. Congrats on BOTD.

This story is a perfect description to never allow one's disabilities limit their abilities. Would like to read this book to know how Aiyana handled her challenges and also how the people around her supported her. I am definitely adding this to my bookshelf.

This is a touching story and definitely, educational for those that are not aware of acausal parallelism before reading this book. I am happy for the presence of Father Clark in Aiyana's life. This book is worth reading.

There is a lot to be learned from the story of Aiyana. Parents who have children with challenges/disabilities can learn how to support their children just like the way Aiyana's parents did. This is a worthwhile read.

It sounds like a fascinating book. I'm in awe of Aiyana's story since she was given a dyslexia diagnosis but also possessed a remarkable talent and thought she was two individuals in one. I can tell from the review that each chapter discussed Aiyana in a different way. You should read this book; congrats on winning the BOTD. amazing book

This novel shows the duality of our nature. It separates our higher self and ordinary self that is narrated through the life of Aiyana. An intriguing look at human pyshcology and human nature.

I was so attracted to the helplessness of Aiyana, cause I could relate to that feeling of emptiness, but thanks to the rare gift she had. Such a touching story. Congrats on being the BOTD.

I am glad that Aiyana was able to discover her gift for the piano despite her dyslexia and that there were people in her life willing to nurture her gift. Her journey sounds interesting and heartwarming. Congratulations on BOTD.
