Lisa Samson’s book always makes you think and this one is no different that the rest. Can you say EDGY?! I don’t think I’ve ever read a Christian fiction book that deals with the type of people mentioned in this story. But these are stories that need to be told, because not everyone is living a picture perfect streak free Christian life. It’s a heartbreaking story as you read what has happened in Drew and Valentine’s lives. I nearly wanted to cry at times when reading because I felt the character’s pain and suffering. Even though there are very few sideshow attractions such as the one portrayed in the story surviving today, it makes the reader think about what life is like for these “so-called freaks.” How hard their life must be because they aren’t born “normal” like the rest of us. I really don’t know how Lella was able to be so upbeat and genuinely happy all the time. I don’t think I could have accepted her situation quite so well. This isn’t your normal happy ending novel. There is a lot of in your face stuff that a lot of Christians don’t like touching. It will make you feel uncomfortable at times but it will also help you to understand more about God’s infinite love and acceptance. This book is definitely edgy Christian fiction at its best. Lisa Samson has created another winner. HIGHLY recommended.
