Tribulation Point was such a heart-breaking story, that had me gripped from the first page, until the very last! I didn't know what to expect of this book because I hadn't heard anything about this book prior to reading it. This story is completely heartbreaking and eye-opening at the same time.

I really don’t know why or how, but I have gotten a slew of deep, thought provoking novels lately, “Tribulation Point” is another one. I want to get right to the synopsis of the novel:
“Abandoned at birth, conceived from a vicious assault on her mother, left on the steps of an orphanage, Precious must also face many other trials from her past.

I had a have to be honest....I had a hard time getting through "Tribulation Point". The story focuses on Precious, the mother, and James, her son, and their life....obstacles and how they overcame them. Unfortunately, I felt that this type of book has been written many times before, and there was nothing new about it at all. I kept hoping for something that would make it special, but I was disappointed.
I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads and am so happy that I did.
This story pulls at your heartstrings and has you stuck to every word from the first page. Definitly recommend it for anyone looking for a deep thought provoking read.

Well, I finished it. There were too many problems with character development, plot, and grammar to give it more than 2 stars. See my blog for full review and giveaway http://www.girl-who-reads.com/2011/07...
