What a superbly written story in Ravine LeReux by E. Denise Billups. I have become a big fan of this author! The characters were intense, secretive, and realistic. This author brings the story to life. Ravine was an unforgettable character, and her life was already changed when her parents disappeared, but now she has to figure out if the same fate touched her aunt and uncle. "Ravine breathes deep, removes a crumpled envelope from her purse ... The unease that plagued her as a child, raced through her mind again, just like it had when she realized her parents were gone forever. The tone of the letter made her stomach lurch..." Curses and family bring the edge to this story. It is not always easy to pack a lot of details into a short story, but Billups, definitely did a great job at writing it, and having it feel complete. It’s definitely un-put-downable! This author is a great storyteller. It brings Ravine on this journey to find out the truth of who she is, and why some others, see something that she doesn't quite see, yet. The story brings the reader on a superb journey. Very impressive story telling. Ravine LeReux is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to reading many more books by this author.
