*My staff book club read Life & Giants & Death by Ron Rindo during the fall of 2025. We all loved it and I was interested in other books the author may had written. I found this was his first novel, ordered a copy, and recently finished.
What It's About - Five Things You Need to Know... *After a horrific family event, the Franklin family isn't quite sure how to move forward.
*Being a blended family, the mother/father, and two teenage children must figure out what their new normal is.
*Cal, the father, decides the family needs a change of scene, and moves them to northern Wisconsin near Lake Superior.
*It is there, Cal decides to become a local preacher, and the family isn't quite sure what to think.
*After making a horrible decision, Cal and his family's lives are in danger of changing forever.
What I Thought of It - Five Observations/Reflections...
*While it wasn't as good as Life & Death & Giants, I did find myself turning page after page.
*There were some horrific scenes and my heart broke for this family.
*When I finished the book, I wanted to hand it off to a fellow reader to see what they thought of the story. I just wasn't sure myself.
*I know people do "off" things after a tragedy, but some of the decisions that characters made didn't make sense to me.
*Ron Rindo is a talented writer and does a strong job of telling a really good story.
Who Should Read It...
*I have been recommending Life & Death & Giants to everyone I know. I would suggest this book to other readers, but not as much as with his newest novel. I am looking forward to get other readers' opinions. Happy Reading!
