Review: Peace Like a River

Peace Like a River by Leif Enger

This was our assigned book discussion title for this month, a recommendation from a member of the group. I admit, I was initially a little skeptical about another family drama laced with potentially sorrow-filled endings...

I was pleasantly surprised...this is a book filled with fantastic prose, descriptive passages, precocious characters and an 11 year old narrator you can't help but adore. I loved traveling with the Land family, witnessing their "miracles", and searching for an end to an ugly dispute with two teenage boys.

I was sorry to see this story end...

The book discussion group unanimously loved it as well - a rarity! Thus, it's highly recommended!
