Strange Piece of Paradise

by Terri Jentz

This book really exhausts you both emotionally and mentally. Violence is at the core and Jentz circles the event, plunges the reader into the event, deconstructs the event and then reinterprets the event. It isn’t an easy read. But, it is a profound look at a woman facing truth in the bravest way possible and then sharing that. I recommend it for those readers that like true crime and mystery but also for those who like history and documentary. I was drawn to the book because of a review on NPR that stopped me in my tracks. I had to hear more about the woman that had set out to bike across the USA and ended up the victim of an unimaginable attack.
