The Secret Wisdom of the Earth - my nominee for Best Book of the Year
This is the first book I have read in a long while that completely captivated me from the first sentence. The mood and voice of this book is so intimate, the reader is engaged immediately. And what are drawn into? - a tragic family tale, a young protagonist , his coming of age adventures in a beautiful Appalachian setting that creates an aura of mystery and possible disaster and destruction. This is a book the author says took him several years to create, but you will not want to put it down for a moment once you start reading, and when you finish, you will miss the world it took you to and the people who inhabit that space. I think this may possibly be the best book of 2015.
