24th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review!
some of what judge #64 had to say
...Owens could not have created stronger characters or a more convincing story arc. The love Orbie feels for his mother is strong and genuine. The self-serving interests of Victor are clear, and the reader will recognize the strength of human desire seeking a course that suits the soul. The development of all these characters is superb, and the emotional bonds Orbie grows with Willis, Miss Alma and the rest of the cast including a couple of chickens named Elvis and Johnny are pivotal. Owens allows spiritual, even paranormal, visions to take place and I must say I am in great admiration of the seeming natural ease with which Owens writes these scenes. Nothing is overwritten; the story is exactly as it should be, building to a wondrous climax of physical-psychic-emotional depths and rooted in the certainty of what is correct and protective of the human soul...
