GoodWGirl reviewed The Sound of Gravel by Ruth Wariner
Review of 'The Sound of Gravel' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I absolutely loved this book! The courage and tenacity of these kids is unlike anything I've ever seen. I kept imaging how angry and powerless they must have felt, yet the still persevered, survived, and escaped.
The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because I really wanted more!! The most exciting part of the book happens near the end and then it ends so abruptly. If a part two existed that would work too, I just so badly wanted to hear about them rebuilding their lives, realizing the truths about their former religion, and coping with aspects of it that still permeated their family (Matt's second wife for example).
In general though, I strongly recommend!
