Summary: Grabs you from the beginning!
Comment: T. William Evans has written a novel that combines the terror of the Johnstown, Pennsylvania flood of 1889 with a wonderfully sweet love story of two young people. His story is full of well researched, historically accurate details of the area and the events that inevitably led to the horrendous flood. The romance of James, a young boy from a wealthy family and Mary, from a hard working family will touch your heart. The conversations between them alternate between realistic language and an extreme poetic nature which is a bit distracting. There also seems to be a switching back and forth of the story being told in a present tense and the past tense, which feels more like an editing problem than a writing detail. Even with those distractions, T. William Evans dramatic writing pulls you into the heart of the story and drags you along like a swift current. This book was very difficult to put down, you feel a need to stay with the characters and to know what is going to happen and how! Mr. Evans is a promising new author with the ability to grab and hold his audience.
