it was amazing
Read 2 times

**This Author has a new book being released in January 2020, Long Bright River, watch for it, it is another 5 solid * book***

This book is about two lonely people and how they have isolated themselves in different ways. For one person it becomes too late for her to save herself but for the other there is hope.

There is so much raw human emotion in this book that I felt that I was reeling at times just thinking about them. I got up this morning having to finish the book. The narrators were incredible, the voice of the overweight professor who had lived a solitary existence for 10 years was remarkable. Then there is the sobering sound of the troubled but resilient young high school boy whose mother is an alcoholic, who has heard stories about his missing father and about how much his mother wants so much more for him but isn't able to save herself.

I always write short reviews for audiobooks but that in no way changes the fact that this book is AMAZING. If you want to listen to a book about how the way you live your life really can affect others, read this book. If you want to hear a story of the possibility of hope when things look beyond help, read this book. If you haven't read any really great literary works, read this book, or listen to it, as I did

You will not be disappointed, I guarantee it!!! Have yourself a good day and think about your blessings, because someone else out there is having a very hard time in this life today and is probably feeling very alone.
