Talent – A Book Review
I enjoy writing book reviews for Story Circle Network for so many reasons: I keep up with the latest books by women indie writers; the reviews support the finest Book Review site on the internet for these well- written books by women authors; it’s always a challenge to write one, and I always know where to go when looking for a good book to read and review.
When I attended Stories from the Heart 2016 Conference in Austin last April, I returned home with nearly a dozen books to read. Last month I pulled B. Lynn Goodwin’s young adult novel Talent from the pile. Although Lynn is a SCN member, I hadn’t planned to review her book because our book review site already had a great review of it.
Every now and then I read a book that I enjoy so much that I write a review of it outside the ones I normally write. Talent is one of those books. I wish every parent, teacher, police officer, clergy person, and other community members who connect with the lives of our children/adolescents could read this book. It provides a stunning road map to recognize when our young people are hurting and how to sensitively help and support them.
