The Highway and The River: One Girl’s Journey out of Evangelicalism into Faith by Darlice Dockter is a sweeping coming-of-age historical novel that follows the life of its protagonist Elizabeth “Bisy” Abigail Stockton. The book begins with backstory into Bisy's family and birth, the history of land and surroundings the growing Stocktons inhabited, and an upbringing that was fully ensconced in her father's Mobridge Evangelical Church. Between the realities of home and the almost militant Christianity in her daily life, Bisy is still, occasionally, prone to reflect on the inequities of life and the religious points of view she has been groomed for. Her life progresses through the seasons and interactions vary from the mundane to the outlandish, such as a four-day sweat lodge retreat on an Indian reservation and a lavish trip to Las Vegas at a time when the circus was considered top-class. Bisy is a "good girl" who does what she has been told and accepts what she has been taught is her fate, but the universe has a way of opening the eyes of those who are lost and when Bisy is in the depths of her darkest moments, the light of genuine faith sees her through. The Highway and The River offers insight into the life of a young girl who grows up into womanhood ill-prepared for life, despite her father believing that she would be secure in the fortress of morality he built around her. The reality that Darlice Dockter shows readers through Bisy is that she has been emotionally and physically beaten down by men who only see her as an extension of themselves. Bisy's mother is probably the most complex character in the novel and I actually quite liked the ambiguity that Docker shades her with that leaves us to wonder where her beliefs lie whenever conflict arises. The hot and cold temperament she shows her daughter increases after Bisy gets married to Jack, a man who says things to her like, “Can you even imagine where you would be today if it weren’t for me?” The writing is simple and readers who prefer substance over style will appreciate the straightforward narrative. Overall, this is a large-scale epic with enough incremental moments that please to balance it out and make it enjoyable.

The Voice, the Revolution and the Key by Jenny L. Cote is a Christian action and speculative fiction children's book and the fifth in Cote's The Epic Order of the Seven series. This review is of the audiobook as narrated by Denny Brownlee. The Order of Seven is a group of animals tasked with missions that defy time, space, and mortality, each one individual in their skillset and backstory. Liz is a sleek black cat with an incredible intellect and dripping with the sophistication one would expect from her native France, whereas the orange Irish cat who loves her, Al, has qualities not quite so visible to those who do not know him. Kate and Max are terriers from Scotland, and Nigel is a British mouse with highly polished deportment and is an academic to boot. Gillamon and Claire round out the group with spiritual guidance, presenting themselves how and when they are most needed. The Voice, the Revolution and the Key is my first introduction to The Epic Order of Seven, and I feel like I've missed out on something by only discovering the work of Jenny L. Cote now. I am a British reader with the unique pleasure of having an American wife. We live in London and—I kid you not—within a mile of where Benjamin Franklin lived for 17 years. This book is really pleasant to listen to and creative to the extent where, as a grown man, I was able to quickly get on board with time-traveling animals who have seen it all, including their experiences during the time of Noah. Yes, that Noah. This is a Christian-themed series and the religious incantations are frequent and direct, as are conversations like the one Gillamon and Claire have as they reminisce over St. Andrew and his martyrdom as a true follower of Christ. These tie in with the foundation of American history as it is told through the experiences of The Order, and for me, meeting the Founding Fathers as children was an absolute treat! The assignments of each in The Order are critical in their roles of shaping them into the adults that will ultimately fulfill their destiny. Cote casts the net deep and wide here, and this is where the necessity of a novel that flirts with 800 pages has to be. The measured pacing of a book this size promises character development and equal billing to each protagonist, and Cote delivers. As for the audio narrator Denny Brownlee, the projection of words and the clarity of speech are of a very high standard. There is an enthusiasm in his voice that is almost palpable. I have no doubt whatsoever that children listening will be as entertained by the reading as they are by the story itself. The voice of each character is projected as strong, distinct, and energetic, even if to the adult British ear the accents are more parody than precision. The benefit of audio is that it can be listened to while one is stuck in traffic or pretending to exercise on a treadmill, and I look forward to going back in time myself to “read” the first four books in the series.

Patients in Peril: The Demise of Primary Care in America by Gregg Coodley M.D. is a non-fiction medical book that details the history of general practice and primary healthcare in the United States. He describes how the decline in primary care is detrimental to doctors, patients, the healthcare system as a whole, and even insurers. Coodley begins by showing us how primary care has been managed for centuries and the series of transitions that have occurred to get to where we are now. He points out that almost every doctor is a stranger to the patient and how ineffective this practice is, as well as how much more it costs. Coodley provides references, verifiable facts, a clear understanding of the economics, and his experience as an MD who has worked with primary care physicians for decades. His revelations are terrifying and compelling. In the interests of full disclosure, I live in a country with national healthcare and have had the same primary care physician for close to thirty years. My doctor knows my name without reviewing a file, asks about my dad, and sends us Christmas cards. A for-profit healthcare system is foreign to me and for this reason, Gregg Coodley's Patients in Peril consumed me for days. It is difficult not to feel angry once we have the crystal clear picture that Coodley paints. Imagine a doctor being paid more for not treating a patient in need with everything they require. Imagine everyone but the doctor getting lab results first and a patient finding out they have cancer from a screen print mailed to their home. Imagine a patient in need of time-critical treatment and their doctor's hands being tied until an insurance company approves it. The problem is that all of this is happening right now. It's going to take a whole lot more of Dr. Coodley's teaching before we finally fight for change, but this book is an excellent place to start. Highly recommended.
