Today on "We're Talking Books" I'll be interviewing Ashley King, the author of a new novel that was recently released by Bridge-Logos Foundation. This is a well-written and compelling book.
It's title, City of Refuge, comes from Numbers 35:11, which says, "When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, then you shall select for yourselves cities to be your cities of refuge, that the manslayer who has killed any person unintentionally may flee there" (NASB).
Alex began searchin for a "city of refuge"--a place of forgiveness and acceptance--after he was in a fatal accident that he felt responsible for. So many lives were affected by the crash, and this book reveals the feelings and experiences of each character in ways that literally grab the reader's attention.
City of Refuge is a page-turner that is filled with stirring emotions, gripping intrigue, and amazing insights into the human condition. Ashley King is an excellent novelist whose writing is intense, thrilling, and moving. You will readily identify with each of her fascination characters and their thoughts, experiences, and feelings.
I heartily endorse this book and hope you will add it to your summer reading fare.
