Rivers of the Heart, by Jeff Van Pelt, is a fast-paced Psychological Drama/Romance, full of passion, suspense and realism. It is a riveting “page-turner,” but don’t mistake that for superficiality. There is a gritty realness to the characters and dialogue that can only come from the author’s years as a psychotherapist working with diverse people caught up in desperate situations. Hume Baliles’ descent into paranoia and drug abuse is so real it’s chilling. The reader will feel passionately sympathetic for Baliles’ estranged wife and her psychologist as they get caught up in trying to cope with his brutal madness. But with all of its darkness, Rivers of the Heart will leave the reader filled with warmth and hope. You are certain to be glad you read it.

This review is from: Rivers of the Heart (Paperback)
Very few fictional stories have grabbed my attention and held it as well as this one. I enjoyed it so much that I'm giving it to several friends for Christmas.
