I waited and wondered until dawn crept down the sky and across the bedroom windows. A third set of three rings followed, and then only silence.

Review | Ship of Fools by Richard Paul Russo ![]() ![]() And it is a joy to read.ĭuncan Roark is the Warrior who loves her. She chooses life, she chooses love and in that choosing heals herself. But here’s what Pam does – she transcends what was done to her and simply allows it to fall from her as if she was shedding a skin. The kind of hell you read about and then stop reading halfway through because you simply cannot make your brain wrap around that level of cruelty. Pam Braxton is one of the most courageous and undaunted characters I’ve ever read and believe me when I tell you that she was put through absolute hell. Teresa Gabelman’s choice to infuse a great deal of humor, a terrifically diverse ensemble cast of characters who are more of a family than anything else and her brave and bare bones choice to simply allow her most broken character to fight for her own sanity and healing. So what could possibly make one more stand out? These days, there are more books where characters have had to survive something horrific than not. And there is no shortage of books with irrevocably damaged characters who, with a combination of their own inner strength and the love and devotion of their significant other, make it back into the land of wholenes once more. ![]() |
