cupcakegirly 's review for:

The Law of Moses by Amy Harmon
5.0

*Purchased on Amazon*

OMG, that was so good!

This was not the story I was expecting, IT WAS BETTER. Not knowing exactly what was going on inside Moses' head was equal parts intrigue and heartache. Like Georgia, I wanted to hug all of his hurt away. Hers as well. And watching their relationship unfold, fall apart and come back together again was heart-wrenching, but I LOVED IT.

Moses had a crap start to life, a difficult time adjusting and an even harder time believing there was any good inside of him at all. Georgia was the first person not related to him to see him for who he really was. And she also helped Moses understand good can be found no matter how bad life seems. You just have to focus on it.

It's silly to say this is a "religious" book simply because the story of Moses, one just about everyone has heard at least once in their life, was used as the backdrop. There is no preaching at, converting or alter calls here. Only a story about love, forgiveness, healing and acceptance.

It's also a little ridiculous to be upset about there being a paranormal aspect. It's a work of fiction--a good one---that reminds us the world we live in is full of color and life, both of which should be celebrated and enjoyed.
