| By Mary Menzel: Set in rural North Carolina, right in the middle of the “bible-belt” region, “The Unspoken” has a ring of truth to it. Six teenagers are brought back together five years after surviving a fire that destroyed the religious compound they lived in … as well as all the adults that lived there. The six young adults are now afraid a prophecy that foretold their deaths is coming true. Thomas Fahy has written this book on a 12 year old and up level but it is very readable and entertaining for adults as well. The story also relays a serious message to our young people today… extreme religious fanaticals that exert total control over people’s lives are dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. |
