The Crooked Path delivers a beautifully tender love story. If you're tired of "steamy love scenes" with little emotional depth then you'll love this book. It is deeply passionate and at the same time a "clean" love story. The love between characters is built slowly and sincerely through the pages. It is heart stopping at times and agonizing at others when love seems just out of reach. The details rendered in this book make the Africa of old come alive. Through the eyes and heart of Lettie we meet her childhood friends and first crush. At the beginning of the book we find Lettie a very shy and unsure girl. As the story progresses Lettie gains strength in her faith and in who she is. As she accepts herself she begins to blossom in ways she could never imagine. The affects of WWII and emotional trauma on her friends changes the way they thought life would turn out. Through it all is woven a thread of hope and an appreciation and reverence for being alive. Lettie and her friends must each find their own way to savor the precious moments as they come and the courage to go on when detours, deadends and roadblocks seem to prevent their dreams from coming true.
I received this book from BookLook publishers but was not required to write a positive review.
