Wayward Angels

Author Karen Wiesner did not pull any punches in this book. Her portrayal of Stormie's mental issues are brutal, honest, and real. She skillfully showed the minute by minute and day by day struggle involved in this disorder. Ms. Wiesner's characters were skillfully developed throughout the story and the pacing was on target and intriguing. These characters could be your neighbors, the teenage across the street, your brother, your uncle. This is a love story between man and woman and between God and human. She shows Christians, as we are, with all our faults, struggles, and failures. Ms. Wiesner sets the hook deep in the prologue and holds your attention from the prologue to the last word. Ms. Wiesner talent is obvious in this skillfully crafted story-line. This is not a love story with a miraculous cure at the end of the story with everyone walking off into the sunset to live care-free and happy ever after. Rather, this is a raw gritty story of mental illness (a thorn of the flesh as stated in the Bible), love, and faith; in other words, this is a story of life not fairy-tales. RECOMMENDATION: 5 STARS I highly recommend this book. I received this book from The Romance Reviews in return for an honest book review. Book reviews of any novel are dependent on the book review author’s opinion; all book reviews on line under my name and on my blog are my opinion.
