Book Review: On The Edge


On The Edge

Author:  Theresa Santy
Publisher:  Breath of Fresh Air Press
Pages:  311
Audience:  Adult
Genre:  Fiction

On The Edge is the story of Kristen Craemer, a young woman haunted and running away from the memories of a traumatic childhood.  Kristen uses any means possible to escape the memories of her past by avoiding her mother and even results to using alcohol to numb the pain and stop the nightmares that threaten to unravel the truth and force her to confront those memories. 

Theresa Santy is a wonderfully gifted storyteller; she brings Kristen’s story to life with vivid description that as the reader, you will find yourself engulfed and invested in Kristen’s journey.  The beautiful case of supporting characters such as Kristen’s mother, Kristen’s childhood friend, Ethan, and her best friend, Alana also have their individual stories that are entwined within Kristen’s life and showcase how the relationships in our lives shape and affect us.  Kristen’s introduction and ambivalence in believing in God is also told in a real way.

This is a beautifully written story that I recommend that everyone should read.  The themes of love and faith are impactful. 

Happy Reading!



Note:  I received a free copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
