Tom Morrisey<\/a><\/h2>\n

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Tom Morrisey is a mountaineer, aviator, shipwreck diver, and explorer, who holds a Full Cave certification from the National Speleological Society – Cave Diving Section.<\/p>\n

He has launched, edited or contributed to numerous national publications and is an award-winning adventure-travel writer. A popular speaker, he is also active in both evangelism and the arts. Morrisey earned an MFA in creative writing from Bowling Green State University, and his fiction has been featured in numerous anthologies and magazines.<\/p>\n

His first novel, Yucatan Deep (Zondervan, 2002) was a finalist for the Christy award, and he is the author of four other novels: In High Places<\/a> (Bethany House Publishers, 2007), Dark Fathom<\/a> (Zondervan, 2005), Deep Blue,<\/a> (Zondervan 2004), and Turn Four<\/a> (Zondervan 2004). In addition Tom has also written two nonfiction books: 20 American Peaks & Crags (Contemporary Books, 1978) and Wild by Nature (Baker Books, 2001). He and his family live in Orlando, Florida.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>You Can’t Outrun the Sins of Your Past
\nDesperate to forget what happened to him in Iraq, Tyler Perkins flees to the emptiness of Wyoming. He’s here to escape and also to fulfill a long-ago promise by accompanying his 86-year-old friend Soren Andeman on a fly-fishing trip–once more for old time’s sake. But their trek to an idyllic trout lake soon becomes something more deeply harrowing–a journey that uncovers long-held lies, deadly crimes, and the buried secrets of the past. Ty barely has time to contemplate the question of what constitutes justice when nature unleashes her own revenge. Trapped in a race back to safety, he must face his own guilt-ridden past or risk being consumed.<\/p>\n

Powerfully imagined by the acclaimed author of In High Places, Wind River<\/a> is an engaging wilderness adventure that explores the power of confession, the beauty of forgiveness, and the freedom of truth unveiled.<\/p>\n

MY REVIEW:<\/h3>\n

It would be hard to describe Wind River<\/a> any better than the content of the “About The Book” in the previous section. The last paragraph sums it up beautifully.<\/p>\n

Wind River<\/a> is a beautifully written, slow-paced tale of two men and the demons of their past that haunt them. Unlike some slow-paced novels, Wind River<\/a> is not boring. The slow pace allows the reader to become intimately acquainted with Tyler and Soren while taking in some awesome scenery along the journey to Cirque Lake. As the story progresses, the simple narrative about Tyler escorting Soren on his last trip into the wilderness he loves develops into a powerful testimony of revelation and redemption.<\/p>\n

I would definitely recommend Wind River<\/a> to all readers; however in a bookstore full of romances and chick-lit, men in particular will find all of Morrisey’s books to be a welcome choice.<\/p>\n
