This is the 2nd published book for the author, Laurie Larsen. The novel is written in a very descriptive manner. There was possibly too much though in the beginning of the book which made it a little choppy. From about 1/3 into the book, it became a very quick read, a little easier to read, and the reader was able to sympathize with the main character in the story. This book is definitely worth checking out, as well as the author.
