“And tha's where you'd be dead wrong!" Mae Mae said as she pointed her finger. "Everybody -- every single body -- makes a difference! But there is a choice that determines what kinda difference you will make. Most folks don't see how important they are... how much they matter to all of us. So they never choose to do somethin' special wif their lives. And not makin' a choice? That is a choice ... a lost one.”
Andy Andrews is a modern legend when it comes to storytelling. It has been said that the greatest story telling commandment is to make the audience care -- emotionally, intellectually, aesthetically. Andrews is able to do just that. His ability to recreate on the page the lives of influential men and women around the world draw in audiences to what end up being incredibly inspirational stories. There is no doubt that the works of this author ought to be taught unanimously in our schools today.
In The Lost Choice Andrews reminds us that each person, no matter how seemingly insignificant they are has the ability to positively or negatively impact the people that surround them every day. More importantly, we are reminded that intentions do not turn into accomplishments. If we always intend to make a difference but never choose to make that difference then it is of little value. If only our society today could realize that we talk too much and act too little how much better off we would all be.
Andrews relates this message in a beautifully crafted story that brings vivid characters to life and creates a mystery in the minds of his readers. This book is an instant classic for any lover of historical fiction, mystery, or inspirational stories.
