Red Heart Dirt by NR Walker is simplicity at it's best. There's no crazy plot twist or high angst but it is so flawlessly written that I couldn't help but fall in love with the story and it's characters. The best way to describe it...you know on those cooking competition shows, when the contestants have to cook an easy dish like eggs over easy. Right off the bat you think- that's nothing but if not executed correctly it's a failure. Well, I don't think everyone would've been successful at writing this book. Ms. Walker did a great job describing the setting and the conditions in which the characters were working in. I felt like I was there.This book takes place in the Australian Outback. Charlie is the owner of the ranch where Travis travels to further educate himself. Right away the two find an easy friendship that soon develops into more. The characters show great development as the story progresses and I found myself really rooting for things to work out between them. Their story is one of friendship, acceptance, loss, and love.I'll answer a question I always ask my reading buddies and my reading buddies ask me: Is there steam? My answer: Hells yeah!The ending of this book- one of favorites- EVER! This is a 5 star read, best of the best for this year!
