Go Tell It on the Mountain

This is a fantastic story of love and faith and the challenges that come with them. While just a narrow glimpse into a few characters lives, Go Tell It On the Mountain is deep and cutting and leaves so much room for considering the counterfactual. What should/would he/she/you have done in the same situation. What is right? What is beautiful? What is love?

I'll admit that I've tried to read this book before, but I didn't get absorbed. The audiobook is something wholly other. The narrator does such a fantastic job breathing life into the characters and giving them the voices that I wanted but did not quite get right in my head for reading.
