An Angry World

Kendall Fredrick Person has written one dazzler of a novel. A master of the English language, his words aren't just to be read but savored, talked about and explored. The story evolves around an accident involving a young child and how everyone in his world reacts. While the novel certainly lives up to its title, Person is careful not to offer a tragedy without hope. Ironically, the novel actually is about redemption of the human spirit and the ongoing quest for peace, tranquility and love. There is a host of characters from Arizona and Johnnie, the child's parents, to Dave Roberts the leader of a hate group, Ricky Swift, the leader of an opposing hate group and unbelievably, God Almighty himself. Only a novelist who truly understands the craft of writing could combine fact and fiction, hate and love, and redemption and condemnation within the same story without missing a beat. His words literally take a reader inside the book where you can feel every angry word and are overcome with conviction at the presence of the Holy Spirit. This is not a religious novel, but rather attempts to show us how to locate our inner peace even when the world is burning down around us.
