Book Review: "A Clearing in the Wild"

Although this book was not one of the best I have ever been fortunate to read, Jane Kirkpatrick's voice in "A Clearing in the Wild" was beautifully stunning. I immediately fell in love with the way in which this novel was written; it feel trustworthy.

Through no fault of the author, this novel's story was not the best fit for me. Although I was able to graciously appreciate the authenticity of the novel, I couldn't get into what felt to me like a religious cult with a leader I probably would not have respected. At the same time, I understand this book isn't set in 2013, but rather a time in which groups like these were more accepted.

Despite the fact that this novel wasn't one I would normally read, I did think it was well written and very well researched by the author. I wouldn't recommend this book to my friends as we share a similar taste in literature, but I would say that for some people, this is definitely worth a read.

Please note that I received "A Clearing in the Wild" free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group in exchange for an honest review.
