See more info on this book on yesterday's CFBA blog tour post.
I feel like Mikey on those old Life Cereal commercials--"He liked it, he really liked it!" Remember those? Anyway, I liked it! I really liked it! This book really took me in and kept me interested all the way through. It was like six degrees of separation between its characters as they are become linked one way or another. And through tragedy, they all end up changed.
Moser follows five different people's lives (and does a good job keeping the storyline running clearly between them):
Maya: the overly driven saleswoman who is desperate to have a baby and is caught using unethical sales methods at work in order to get the money for fertility treatments. How will she react to being fired?
Roman: her boss who taught her the techniques but pretends he didn't. Father to football star Billy and devistated by his loss. How will he recover?
Peter: Billy's roomate and friend who is torn between his wild girlfriend Lianne and his family expectations. What will he do with his future?
Lianne: seemingly wild and unaffected by life, but secretly hurting from the secrets her parents kept from her. How will she react when more secrets are discovered?
and Velvet: running from her past, only to have it come and smack her in the face unexpectedly when her daughter that she gave up for adoption shows up to work for her and the baby's father shows up in town too. Will she keep running from her past or own the secrets?
A great book with a wonderful reminder of how God can speak to us through both little subtle signs and big glaring slaps in the face. I couldn't put it down!
