Saltwater Moons is a very contemplative novel, full of heartache from the beginning right through to the end. What I liked about it is how true to life it is. I think that’s difficult to pull off. As much as realistic fiction carries the label realistic, it’s more about being believable because so many things happen in life that are unbelievable, yet in fiction, readers struggle to suspend their disbelief when such events take place in books.
LEAP OF FAITH by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
Books about religious exploration somehow fascinate me, so much so that I went ahead to request Leap of Faith from the public library’s repository.

I must say, I’m glad I specifically requested this book.

Pip is one of them, which makes him stand out among the Ferals on Earth, although not any less menacing to Rosie, a Banker.
