Some people believe they are on this Earth because they lost a bet with God. Some believe they are here as a messenger for God. And some don’t have any idea why they’re here.
If David Randal falls into any of these categories it’s probably the latter, but in the process of trying to figure out why, he’s collected an abundant supply of observations about life. Luckily, he’s chosen to share those observations through his first novel.
Reading his book, Kelsey’s Crossing, you’ll not only witness his ability to make the plain elegant, you’ll possibly be inspired to sharpen your own view — maybe even change the way you view life.
I found his writing style engaging and the book to be a well-crafted novel. I was impressed at how the plot unfolded and the characters seemed real — I felt like I knew them personally and got attached to them very quickly. His descriptions were vivid and added to the story without slowing it down.
I won’t spoil the plot for you, but it addresses on-going problems that we face in the US. I think the book should be required reading for our current leaders in Washington.
Reading the book was like being taken on a journey. It was a compelling story — well paced and satisfying. I read the book in 3 sittings.

Thank you, Jimmy, for the wonderful book review, although I was much more moved by your beautiful Anniversary message to Claire. And you are right about God and me. I haven’t yet figured out why I’m here. I guess I’ll just keep trying. — David
