"Jacob and Lace"

I just want to start off by saying that the author of this book is my uncle, (woot woot!), and I am really hoping that his talent at writing runs in the family and that I got some of it. I would take even being  just half as good as he is. His book, "Jacob and Lace", is a story of surviving even when all the odds are against you. The main character, Jacob, has is life completely uprooted when his mom wakes him up one morning and runs out the door. He chases her to the bus stop and they leave everything that he has ever known behind. She takes him to a place where he meets wonderful, strange, and caring people. He also witnesses the uglier side of life and sees the consequences that come from ignoring people for the cause of "minding your own business". There is a brightness though that comes in the form of a girl named Lace. She teaches Jacob adventure, hope, and forgiveness. This story will keep you sucked in from the first page to the last.

This is one of those books that you simply cannot put down. Each page is filled with rich story and interesting and relatable characters. I actually snuck this book under the covers after my husband had fallen asleep. There aren't very many books that I will risk waking my husband up for. I just could not wait until morning to find out what happened next.The scenery is vibrant and the characters are full of detail and life. This is definitely an unforgettable story that will stay with you long after you turn the last page. 5 out of 5 stars. This book is appropriate for readers of all ages and I strongly suggest that you get a copy. You won't regret it.
