Book Review: Bound

I don’t participate in many Blog Tours mostly because I want to know that I’m going to like the book before I agree to promote it. This author was kind enough to tell me that if, for some reason, I didn’t like the book, I could bow out of the Tour. So I sighed up. I’m glad I did.

Bound

by Victoria Lynn

Two souls don’t find each other by simple accident.

~Jorge Luis Borges~

Levi thought he was making this journey alone. But when he meets an eight-year-old girl at the train station, that plan is turned on its head.
Casey is running away and finds out that Levi is too. They decide to journey together and their lives are suddenly bound together in a journey they will not soon forget.
Both children come from abusive situations and are running from the dangers of their previous life. Levi is confident he can handle this on his own, but when Casey is injured on the journey, he must seek help from the first person that comes into his path, or rather people. Mr. and Mrs. Bellworth are simple farm folk with a heart for kids and a passion for serving God. When their unconditional love and gentle care surrounds Levi and Casey, the troubles of their previous lives melt away and they start to flourish. But when Casey is dragged back into the abusive world she came from, the emotional trauma, pain and distrust resurfaces. Will they be forever bound by their past? Or will God answer their prayers?

My Review

When I first started reading this book, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it or not. I liked the main characters right away, but there were bits that didn’t feel real. Well, I soon forgot about them, or they no longer mattered because the story pulled me in and wouldn’t let me go. The message of God’s love and forgiveness was well done, the characters were real and the story well told. It’s one I’ll read again.
