Okay ladies, to begin I must say that I was told about this book from Marilee. In fact, she was so adamant that I read it, she actually bought it for me.
It is called Follow the River by James Alexander Thom and it is phenomenal! It is so riveting and compelling and I literally could not put it down once I got into it. I'm not going to lie though...it is not light reading. It is tense, heart-pounding, emotional, nauseating reading. There are some very graphic, violent parts and one part in particular in the very beginning that will literally make you sick but if you press on you will be amazed at the power of the human spirit, and inspired to become a better person yourself. It will even remind you that miracles do happen.
If you need a little distraction from the Cullen family, or something to pass the time until August, check this book out.
Thanks Mar, it really was fascinating and inspiring!
