This review is from: Althea (Paperback)

While reading "Althea" I was drawn into a world of which I knew little about. I felt as if I was a character in the book, but stood by,watching, and doing nothing about what was happening. After reading the book I felt guilty because I could but didn't do anything to help Althea. That's how captivating the book was. If only I could go back and change things. "Two thumbs up."
