Heavenly Peace, My Ass - The Stealing Home Series, #1

Heavenly Peace, My Ass is the first book in the long-awaited Stealing Home Series. As with everything else he touches, Aric H. Morrison introduces this book to the world in a grand fashion. And boy, does this one deliver on quality, creativity, theming, and storytelling. This dynamic first book in the series cruises in around 290 pages; this story begins where it ends. And then quickly captures the reader in a particular spell.
There are twists and turns within this book, too numerous to count. When I thought it was safe to take a breath, I shook my head. What an interesting life story. So far, this one seems to have it all. Heavenly Peace, My Ass is a true journey as told by the author. In this book, he opens up like never before, sharing his views on how life was "supposed" to be and ultimately how life tossed him a few additional curveballs.
You become connected to Aric H. from the first chapter. Somehow, he manages to brilliantly reach his arms around the readers and quickly bring them into his world. You become a member of his family by the end of the book. The words here are not without pain, life lessons, adversity, and personal reconciliation. It can be very dark and make you reach for the light switch. While at other points, the sky appears to be seeming quite blue.
This author has an incredible way in his writing style to deliver whatever emotion he feels is appropriate before you even see it coming. His tone is deep, his thoughts are very intricate. Rarely has a book come across our office with such power and raw emotion within its pages. Every so often, one comes out which can move vast numbers of people to a visit a place in their minds they may not yet have realized possible.
This story seems to have the power to do just that. An absolutely brilliant first book in this series. This one is a true find.
