Disturbing yet reassuring

I read this book one afternoon. The book was an easy read that took me on a journey of discovery. The lead character was deeply impacted by past events in her life and with the help of her strange relationship with an inmate and a cowboy, she was able to recognize destructive patterns and try to move forward. This book touched me deeply and I can't wait to see what this author comes up with next.

Thief, a Brief Review

This is a short easy to read book. It is a story about a teacher and the connections she makes with two unusual and potentially dangerous men during her summer get-a-way at a rented cabin. The school teacher swims daily at the lake, thinks about her life, and works through a traumatic event that she experienced when she was sixteen years old. It's prose is simple, sometimes to many "I said" and "he said" in its narrative. However it is thoughtful, and kept me interested and entertained. I appreciated the straight forward style and enjoyed this book. I recommend it as reading material for women more so than men.
