David and his sister Mariza decided to embark on an adventure - holiday, till they are detoured along the highway during heavy rainfall. A pitstop that David will remember for the rest of his life. HIs faith is tested and life is turned upside down. Will Mariza save him in more ways than one ?WOW - I must say this is not at all what I expected and in a good way .  A emotional rollercoaster filled with a twist I didnt expect ! After reading the blurb I wasnt sure what to expect but delving into this book I was taken aback a few steps and found myself quiet heartbroken. There is a message behind this story, and I hope that readers do see this.Im one of those teary eyed readers as soon as tragidy of this mutli tude comes forth Im sniffing and frantically reading  to find out the outcome. ** thinking to myself whyyyyyyyyyy ??? **  Cystal has thrown in heartbreak and loss in this short story that has not only gripped at my heart but leaving me heartbroken for David. Relating to his loss, the things we lean upon at our times of need are not always a good thing, we question our faith, wander why the loss and if Someone is really punishing us to leave us this way and of course the question we all ask WHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!A short read that will have you reading from begining to end, teary eyed and somewhat happy at the ending. ** I can say the only relief I have at the ending was that Mariza helped David to regain his faith -  his strength and move on with his life. Im not a religious person,(( Its not that I dont believe ))  but I throughly enjoyed this heartfelt story . I believe and have witnessed people 's faith and I must say this story reflects the ups and downs of life. Doubting life, your faith, and things thrown upon you... where you just have to pull up those socks and solider on.  Very true to life, and realistically written.Twists and turns, emotional angist and heartbreak but also a light at the end of that dark tunnell.A compelling short story, that will not only make your heart ache, but leave you wandering way past the last page.Once reading the book the cover reflects it to the tee, I think its a beautiful cover and a great storyline to inspire those who may have stumbled off The broken road.HOPE - What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise"
