Brian has a dream of writing the great American novel. He knows that without a gimmick to set him apart from the rest of the pack, he'll never succeed. From reading Black Like Me, he gets the idea to masquerade as a homeless man to get the material to write the saga of those suffering from poverty. During his first visit to the local homeless shelter to gather facts, he is accosted by Zeke, one of the subjects of his research. In order to save his skin, Brian spills his guts to the huge black man. After hearing the story, Zeke sees value in the project for his homeless brethren, and pledges to help the wannabe paperback writer. Also on his first visit, a vision of loveliness, aptly named Angel, takes away Brian's breath and subsequently his heart. She turns out to be a fanatical Christian who is waiting for God to reveal the identity of her future husband. Brian decides to write a novel and make Angel the heroine hoping to win her heart in the process.

This was the first book I have read by Donald. But not my last.
A wonderful book about homeless people. A book about bringing people to see the truth. And bring them to the Lord.
There is an angel in the book you just have to meet! I really did enjoy the book.
I hope that you will pick up a copy of this book to enjoy.
I was given a copy of this book by the author
Wonderful review Mary cant wait to get a copy.
ReplyDeleteWonderful recommendation, Mary. I think we all need to become more aware of those around us who are without. It's humbling. Thank you!

Wow, great review! Sounds like a great book!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary. This is a subject that gets very neglected at this time of year. People rushing to shop for Christmas, go to parties, sit in front of a fire but a whole other world is being ignored. The people that are lost out in this world with no where to go, no food, no shelter and no warmth. This is a book I really want to read and I hope many others will also. Even if it is to gather a couple out grown coats, blankets. I would love to win this book

Awesome review Mary. This sounds like a great book. There are many homeless here in Lincoln. I worry for their safety and how they survive the cold nights and if they get enough to eat. Praying for each of them.
