This is the story of Dylan Runs Ahead, a native american war veteran who is doing his best to run away from memories of a missing sister and of war, but discovers he needs to face them instead. Along the way he is helped by a woman who talks about seeing things others don't.
This was the first book I've read by T. L. Hines, and it wasn't at all what I was expecting. I wouldn't say I really enjoyed the story, but I was intrigued and couldn't put the book down. I wanted to find out how it ended. There were times I forgot I was reading a Christian book, but I'm not sure if this is a positive or negative.
Something I was startled by was the references to self-harm by one of the characters. As someone who self-harms I was triggered by this, but I am also pleased that this book could help the public become more aware of the condition. I was happy self-harm was not the focus of the story or included in a way that screams "this is horrible, how could she do this?"
I think this book is worth reading, but probably isn't one I will keep and reread multiple times.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through a book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
