Why I recommend "The Surrogate : A Novel"

by Judith Henry Wall

While this book’s villians are a televangelist and her brother, this book does not have a negative outlook on Christianity, rather it praises genuine love and caring and charity. The book starts with a chapter in the middle of the action and then goes back to the very beginning. Meanwhile it looks at the unfolding events from the perspective of multiple characters, those both integral to the plot and those who are only supporting members of the drama. While it is the most articulate or well written book i’ve ever read it is a good read, a good diversion, and would probably make a really good film. Definitely worth reading though it’s not for children: there are a couple of sexual situations and its entirety is focused on moral issues.
