The Heart Twisters

Rating:
Summary: Superb
Review: In The Heart Twisters, author Nancy McCoy takes you to a fictional world about real life in present day rural America. The truly unique story is set deep in the Bible Belt of Texas where the opposing forces of radical, post 9/11 patriotic Christianity and the constitutional right of freedom of religion clash with the peace and welfare of an entire community at stake. In the wake of it, an emotional tornado ensues. The sheer power of the telling of the story brings you to know the characters like real life friends. Virginia Donohue or ?Virgie?, in particular ? A veteran lawyer turned high school teacher ? takes a stand against religious bigotry and picks the ?good fight,? finding true love on the way. What is the cost of defending your freedom in the tidal wave of religious fanaticism? The Heart Twisters is surely the measure. Experience a full spectrum of emotions when you read this story: admiration, humor, exhilaration, intrigue, astonishment, passion, sadness and joy ? a roller coaster ride through the best and the worst attributes of humans in real life. Never was a book so hard to put down until the story plays out in the end. Encore, Nancy McCoy!
