"Blessing on the Run" by Alana Terry is a novel that deals with hard subjects rape, prostitution, and drugs and abortion and a secrets. I really didn't think I would like this story once I started reading because of these issues, but once again, I was wrong. I had to keep reading till the end. When  I reached the end and closed the book, I wanted to read more. I am hoping for a second book with these characters. The ending makes me think there might be.

I really like that this story is told by the character Blessing. It felt like she was talking to me and that I wasn't reading the book but listening to her tell it.

The best part of this story is that even with subjects like this, the author has told a realistic story without all the cursing that authors seems to enjoy using more these days. I give Alana Terry 5 stars for writing this book and sharing a true picture of what could very well be a true story in someone's life without using graphic words and scenes.

This book really pulled at my heart strings, I wanted to jump into the pages and give the characters a hug. Well, everyone but Jerrod.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

More from Alana

Are you afraid of anything? Maybe you have a phobia, like a fear of spiders, heights, or (if you’re weird like me) fish. (That’s a story for another day!)
When I was pregnant with our first son, I had some weird nightmares which fueled my fears. One night I woke up my husband in a panic to tell him to pray for our baby because we were being chased by a demonic cheese grater (yes, you read that right – a demonic kitchen appliance!). Regularly in my nightmares, I dream that someone or something is after my kids (and they’re usually not possessed cooking utensils, by the way).
One way I work through my fears as a mom is to turn them into stories. And even though I haven’t found a way to work a demonic cheese grater into my novels, you can read about a mother’s worst nightmare in this novel, Blessing on the Run.
 Blessing has worked hard to turn her life around after a rough life on the streets, but in this exciting suspense novel, her past it about to catch up to her.
Join Blessing and her parents (if you’re a fan of the Kennedy series you already know who they are!) for an adrenaline-packed thrill ride you won’t soon forget.
