Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

The Edge of Elsewhere by Sam Stea

This book is quite timely as it is a message of hope and in 2020 we sure could use some hope.   The three protagonists, Abbey, Paul and Max are living in a dystopian future that bleak barely describes.   They uncover Albert Einstein’s journal and Paul is able to decipher a secret that will change their lives.

The sadly realistic projection of our future is off set by the message of hope.  Music is powerful and those of us who are lucky to be carried to a different time and place when we hear music from our past are blessed.  The feeling of recapturing a moment that is triggered by a tune is powerful.   The hopeful music of the hippie era should not be forgotten particularly if we are faced by a future of wild fires, racial tension, pandemics and fear.   We, as a society, need to feel there is hope!  Hope for a better future, a vaccine, an understanding between diverse groups, hope, we need hope.  This book provides hope.

The author did a great job including historic figures without losing authenticity.


I enjoyed the book and it does give me hope!

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
