Book Reviews

A View To The Unknown chronicles several generations of the Mahoney Family as they go through life's changes, with quite a few surprising twists and turns. It is a hopeful story, based on the precept that love above all can influence the outcome of one's existence. The core issue, child molestation, is treated with poise and sensitivity, but the story line involves much more than that. Throw into the mix a bit of reincarnation, dreams that foretell the future, and omens waiting to be interpreted, and you get a multi-layered reading experience that keeps the pages turning. Did I mention a bit of hot sex too? Again, this aspect of the book is handled with grace and good taste, spicing up the lives of the characters in a credible fashion. What kept it interesting for me was the way the author laid a foundation for each of the characters, sometimes going back before birth, then returning over the course of the book to expand on those characters as their personal history develops. The story flows beautifully and the eventual message is clear, that Love Conquers ALL, and self-love is not necessarily bad when it leads to compassion for others. This was a great read and I highly recommend this author.
