Sam Hopkins, a PK (preacher's kid) and self-professed good boy, becomes entangled with three hoodlums and learns the bittersweet appeal of occasionally doing something wild. He also befriends (and, ultimately, the protectorate of) Jennifer. Jennifer has demonic visions... is she schizophrenic or is evil really afoot? Action and plot twist make this tale a page-turner. ( ) Life is all about perceptions. There is a fine line between what one might consider prophetic and what one might consider crazy. Which one of those categories does Jennifer fall into? Maybe the answer is both. We find a character who is completely batty, in the eyes of everyone around her. But somehow, Sam was able to see past that. He was able to put the fractured pieces together and find the truth. This book skirts around some issues that face us all. When is it okay to not do the right thing? How do you know what the right thing is to do? How do you know for sure that what is happening is a message from Higher Up that we are supposed to follow, or learn from, or find solace and direction in? Do Right, Fear Nothing. That is the message that this book conveys. Do the right thing, no matter what the consequences might be, and the rest will be taken care of. I could relate on a very personal level to this story because I have had moments where I felt like the universe was pulling me in a direction that made no sense, and it sometimes takes a long time to get the pieces to click into place, and sometimes no one else seems to understand. Overall, this story is one of hope and guidance, urging the reader to understand that just because something is difficult, does not make it the wrong thing to do. In fact, usually what is right is the hardest path to choose. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story and hope to read more of this author's work in the future. Anyone who has struggled with doing what is right really should read this one. I received a copy of this book via Booksneeze in exchange for a fair and honest review. Life is all about perceptions.
