She said I was like a song. Her favorite song. A song isn’t something you can see. It’s something you feel, something you move to, something that disappears after the last note is played.

I won my first fight when I was eleven years old, and I’ve been throwing punches ever since. Fighting is the purest, truest, most elemental thing there is. Some people describe heaven as a sea of unending white. Where choirs sing and loved ones await. But for me, heaven was something else. It sounded like the bell at the beginning of a round, it tasted like adrenaline, it burned like sweat in my eyes and fire in my belly. It looked like the blur of screaming crowds and an opponent who wanted my blood.

For me, heaven was the octagon.

Until I met Millie, and heaven became something different. I became something different. I knew I loved her when I watched her stand perfectly still in the middle of a crowded room, people swarming, buzzing, slipping around her, her straight dancer’s posture unyielding, her chin high, her hands loose at her sides. No one seemed to see her at all, except for the few who squeezed past her, tossing exasperated looks at her unsmiling face. When they realized she wasn’t normal, they hurried away. Why was it that no one saw her, yet she was the first thing I saw?

If heaven was the octagon, then she was my angel at the center of it all, the girl with the power to take me down and lift me up again. The girl I wanted to fight for, the girl I wanted to claim. The girl who taught me that sometimes the biggest heroes go unsung and the most important battles are the ones we don’t think we can win.

Tag is a lot of things to a lot of different people: boss, friend, lover, brother, son, hero, etc. In his twenty-six years he’s been through a lot, more than most people his age or even older have dealt with. MMA fighting is how Tag channels his energy and feelings. ”Men have always fought. Women

A beautiful, thought-provoking novel, with a phenomenal cast of characters. Honestly, Amy is a master at creating a stories that just resonate in your heart and soul. I adored The Song of David and I wish go on all day about how wonderful this story was, but Amy tends to render me wordless. I just can't put into words what this story meant to me, how special and honest it was, how it just made me FEEL everything. So I urge everyone to read it, to experience the story for themselves, and hopefull...

"You can’t see a song. You feel a song, you hear a song, you move to it. Just like I can’t see you, but I feel you, and I move toward you. When you’re with me, I feel like I glimpse a David nobody else knows is there. It’s the Song of David, and nobody else can hear it but me.” Dammit, epilogue made me cry... :(

I found The Song of David to be an incredibly emotional book. The love Tag and Millie share brought a smile to my face. As usual, Ms. Harmon delighted me with the devastating beauty of the stories she tells. I recommend this book to anyone in the mood for an emotional read.

Beautifully DevastatingIf you’re an Amy Harmon fan, you think you know what to expect when you begin a new book. Except, you never really can know what to expect. Her books are different. Unique. Surprising. And in that respect, The Song of David is no exception.Harmon excels at creating intriguing and unusual characters. In this book, she gives us David “Tag” Taggert, a rising MMA star, and Amelie “Millie” Anderson, a pole dancer. It sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but remember — this

4,5 “Some people are worth suffering for” Stars. This is Tag’s book (you probably remember him from “The Law of Moses”) and Millie, a blind girl with an unbelievable strong personality that sees more in her blindness that most of perfect-eyed people. They meet, they fall… and after that they go through an unbelievable road of learning when to be strong, learning when to fight, and how to love the other person in their worst moments. Get in and get ready for an amazing journey of romance and st

3.5 ★'s I was excited when I heard that this was Tag's book especially from getting to know him as Moses' best friend in The Law of Moses. However, this book was nothing like I expected it to be. The book starts out with Tag missing and Tag's girl friend, Amelia, has called Moses for some help. They then find some tapes that Tag has left and start listening to them...that's how we (sort of) get Tag's POV. Tag starts telling his story from when he first sees Amelia and progresses through all thro...

Clearly, reading this duology back-to-back was not a good idea. Because too much heartbreak and my fragile heart can only handle so much. Again, Amy Harmon is a genius. This woman is brilliant. She's an amazing storyteller. This book, like all of her other ones I've read so far have managed to tug at my heartstrings. Her writing is so emotional. So, very emotional. Again, I cried reading this. At this point, I truly believe all of Amy Harmon's will make me cry. “Saying something is “meant to
