Josh gave to: Mortality Bridge by Steven R. Boyett	My rating:
I struggle to find words that aptly describe this work that Boyett has crafted. His way with words is superb throughout, a perfect poetry of prose that drew me in to feel the narrator's many raw emotions on his roller coaster ride through his own pe...more
