As I have gotten older I will admit to a propensity for wanting to read stories about family, finding one's self, redemption and making connections with old friends and lovers. Indigo Creek was just up my alley as it deals with a man who has suffered a terrible loss and, after years of trying to escape his personal demons, finds himself back in his hometown among people and friends he hasn't seen in a long time.Author J.R. Whitley gives us a man who has been torturing himself for years and blaming himself for losses that, in the end, weren't really his. Of course, like all who must walk through fire to pay for their supposed sins, our damaged hero is led back to a place where connections, and the healing power that they bring, are abundant.Without giving away too much of the story I can tell you that there were a few things that really surprised me (in a good way) and, by the time I finished the book, I felt a connection to protagonist Jon Camden that was quite strong. If you're looking for a great summer afternoon read that will keep you interested throughout and throw you a few curves at the same time, Indigo Creek will definitely fit the bill. I'll be keeping my eyes open for new stories from this excellent author. Highly recommended.
