“Beacon of Promise” by James Scott Bell

Share

The Beacon of Promise by James Scott Bell captured my attention. I couldn’t stop reading, wondering how the protagonist, Mark, would rise out of a dark moment and nightmare any father should not have to face.

One of my favorite attributes of this novel is the patient and loving dialogue between a daddy and his daughter, Maddie. The imaginative questions and answers between the two tickled me. I felt sad for the little girl and her father as the plot progressed. From the beginning to the end of the story, I was invested and horrified by how events turned out differently than ideal.

If you enjoy fast-paced books where characters complicate or destroy their lives through their decisions and actions, you may enjoy The Brotherhood: A Precinct 11 Novel by Jerry B. Jenkins or John Grisham’s The Firm.
