About the Book:
Crows
are appearing in Logan, South Carolina, and no one knows why. No one except an
elderly blind man Mr. Charlie and a timid young agnostic, Ruth Cleveland. When
Nate Baxter, falls in love with Ruth, he's unaware she is hiding a secret that
threatens his Christianity and will drive him far from her. Will God use this
unlikely trio to save the town from an evil never imagined by the residents of
Logan?
Review:
The occult plays a central part in
this marvelously creepy tale of spiritually challenging events revealing the
deep-seeded underbelly of animosity in one small town.
Ruth is one of those lost souls
that make you want to take her home and feed her and just love her up. She’s
been beaten by life but doesn’t seem to know she could just give up and meld
into fate. Even when she reaches the point where she’s ready to deal with the
devil, circumstances miraculously and weirdly intervene to save her from
herself. But for what purpose? Mr. Charlie, the mysterious blind man Ruth met
and visits with daily, tries to prepare Ruth for the role only he seems to
understand she is called to play.
While I found the character of
Nate, Ruth’s love interest, a bit plastic, he plays his role well. Peopled with
natural, loving side characters beset by raw evil, The Light of Logan is a
story that makes readers wonder what would happen in your community if a law
that removed taxation exemptions currently enjoyed by non-profits was enacted.
Recommended for those who like a
little night terror with their daily inspiration.
