I continue to surprise myself with my choice of Kindle books lately. Depending, again, on reviews from other readers, I selected this book with anticipation and was not one bit disappointed. Joy Jordon-Lake has a truly masterful way of weaving words into unforgettable images and emotional experiences.
The story takes place in the deep south during a time when racial prejudice and cross burning Klu Kluxers should have been a thing of the past, but as the teens in this novel find out, this is not the case. In her unique imagery and southern way with words, Joy Jordon-Lake explores love, laughter, friendship, loyalty, intrigue, prejudice, faith, and honour like only a word master can. What happens when a little clique of southern white kids befriend a Sri Lankan girl and invite her to their swimming hole one hot summer day, will change all of their lives forever.
"Blue Hole back home" gets an unqualified 5 star rating from this reader.
