This
excellently written story involves some weighty themes. The reader is
lead to really care about the two protagonists, to care about their
physical and spiritual well-being. The author creates great tension
in the story as both of these things are threatened with no easy
solution in sight. Readers will be challenged with the same questions
as the lead characters. How do we demonstrate that we believe all
life has equal value? How do we champion the poor, and how do we
avoid reverse discrimination by not realizing the needs of the
wealthy, different though they may be? How well do we truly know God,
and how are we trying to come to know Him better? Are we honestly
embracing mercy, grace, and forgiveness, both as givers and
receivers? It takes a very talented writer to handle such deep
thoughts while keeping her readers thoroughly entertained, and
Michelle Griep is up to the task. I most highly recommend The
House at the End of the Moor,
and am grateful to have received a copy from Barbour Publishing via
NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no
obligation to provide a positive review, and received no monetary
compensation.
