I couldn't put this book down, and I say that of very few books. It is a story about redemption, about overcoming some very long odds, about proving the world wrong, and about the power of love to bring people back from the brink of despair. Rachel Stone is the disgraced widow of a corrupt televangelist trying to protect and provide for her 5 year old son, Edward. She has come back to the site of her disgrace, Salvation, North Carolina, where she is nearly universally despised, to try to find a chest she thinks holds the key to some money her despicable husband left behind. In the process, she not only rescues herself and her son, but the hero Gabe, who is brought back from the brink of fatal despair. The story is original, the dialogue is snappy, and despite what sounds like a very depressing story line, it is fundamentally upbeat. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.
