Yes, yes! Amy's Eyes, by Richard Kennedy.

I received a review copy in 1985, despaired at how thick it was, but conscientiously sat down to try to read it. After a single paragraph I put it down, called my family together, and read the entire book out loud--over several days--to my husband and kids, who were then 7, 10, and 13. We loved all 437 pages, and the kids (now grown up and independent) still quote phrases from the book. In fact, my husband made a reference to it just last week.

Thanks for the chance to suggest it!
