My goodness this book is amazing! The characters are compelling and flawed. There is much pain in the story, but it never threatens to overwhelm the reader. And the amount of real life, daily living truth in this novel is just so breathtaking. I will be buying a copy of the book soon, so I can read it again.
Wow. This was truly well written. Selleck nails the dialogue. Both internal and external dialogue, paint a clear picture for the reader. Character development, dynamics, and destiny were all executed in fine form.
Obviously, one cannot escape the moral, or ethical, theme throughout the plot. However, unlike other authors, Selleck does not drag the reader through an uncomfortable self-examination. Readers are gently invited to revisit their worldviews without being badgered or beaten into facing or accepting the author's perspective.
Whatever self-examination the author hoped the reader would experience takes place with Ora. Cute, quirky, and endearing. I hope this short work stands the test of time. I see Middle School reading curriculum. This book will gently challenge young minds in the fashion of Edith Wharton. For the record, I do not make that statement lightly.
