Helpful Score: 2
Into the Free had a very visceral pull on me as a reader. I was reeled into this story of a girl growing into a woman, a girl living in conditions I couldnt imagine withstanding, and yet she gave me a dose of courage and beauty I didnt realize I needed.
It takes amazing talent to tell a story with strife and a desperate search for wholeness, in a way that doesnt make it seem as though the book has no plot or direction. The writing voice yanked me into the pages of the story and watching Millie make her choices gripped my heart.
There is such beauty in this book. Obviously the story wont be for everyone, but it really encompasses so much of what I look for in the novels I love. A desperate yearning, a tension filled search for her right place, a longing from the hand of God to touch her.
I loved the faith message so much in this novel. Its not overt, not even something you would necessarily pick up, because its lived. It fills the pages and encompasses the endI absolutely loved how the book ended.
A literary novel, but its not written in a stuck-up or stodgy manner- its a novel that wrapped around my heart and left me just the right amount of changed.
This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers through CFBA for my copy to review.
