A Live Coal In The Sea
ralegh avatar reviewed on + 126 more book reviews


A fascinating book about the many complications a family goes through as a child is taken in, lost, and taken back. Seen from many years later, as the child's daughter tries to make sense of her father's past and why his behavior has changed. A tale of mercy, loss, and forgiveness, excellently crafted by Ms. L'Engle.
