Exodus: A Requiem for Jacob Forlorn
Jacob Forlorn is a character you will never forget. This is a story of a man who falls in love, who is then abandoned and betrayed and then goes through what might be the worst self-destruction I have ever read. It rips your heart out and makes you want to ease his pain in some way.
This author writes in a way that hits your heart. He is descriptive and you can close your eyes and imagine yourself in the scene. Good luck putting this book down once you start. I spent two very late nights trying to find a stopping point so I could go to sleep. It’s just a book you need to know how it ends.
