Hope River by Max Stravagar: This book is more than a book of inspirational triumphs it elevates the classics to new heights, from Roots to Tom Sawyer to Hanson and Gretel, Romeo and Juliet and The Call of The Wild...while having a religious theme set in the background without the preachiness. It strikes the right tone, it is simply one of the best books ever written.

Thoughts from the Author: This eBook will turn upside down what you thought you knew about Slavery, which one does not see in a typical crimes against humanity novel/story and gain insight into this era of American history.
It is the first to focus on runaway slave children and young adults growing up in slavery, cannibalism also plays an important role, a taboo subject within that world... shakes up what is the norm in most crime and fantasy novels.
The e-book narrative and summery of the story line is a teaching moment and can apply to your personal life, or career, (without the guilt) in addition easy to read and understand. Effectively this ebook will change your life.
