"A Walk Across The Sun" by Corbin Addison ****


  • Audiobook
  • Originally published in 2011
  • US author
  • Review:   Basically this is the story of redemption and salvation, although not in the traditional sense of those words.  This story moves from Washington, D.C. to Mumbai to Paris to Atlanta and back to Mumbai.  That is the physical journey.  However the spiritual and personal journeys of the characters is even more dramatic and transformational.  Two sisters caught up in the tsunami of a few years ago get thrown into the world of human trafficking.  Their faith keeps them going once they are separated.  A couple who has lost a child end up separated.  How do the two pairs reunite and what does it take for that to happen?  It takes faith, perseverance, and honesty.  Not always easy to  consistently conjure up under extreme stress.  So, I will not divulge the details, but will just say that the plot and characters had me interested right from the beginning.  If the view of trafficking is at all realistic, I am even more disgusted by it now than prior to reading the book.  An engaging, informative and thought-provoking book.
