THE ONLY ROAD NORTHErik Mirandette
Personal Rating: 5/5

Wow. What an incredible story. I am in awe of this young man's courage and determination. This is real. As real, as real can get.
Here's an except from the back of the book:
Deserts and jungles, rebels and missionaries, bullets and acts of bravery, heaven and hell on earth--these are all part of a young man's remarkable, true journey through thirteen African countries with his brother and two best friends.
...The Only Road North takes readers to corners of the world and depths of the human heart they will never forget.
Erik's story is about life, love, survival, adventure, passion and much, much more. My heart is one that has been touched. Read it and yours will be too.
Wow, a perfect five. That's pretty awesome, especially considering the last two that you read. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteOhh, sounds intriguing. I'll have to add it to my wish list.
