5.0 out of 5 stars Must read for any parent or grandparent
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2024

This book is amazing. This is a must read for just about everyone, especially teenagers, parents of teenagers, and grandparents of teenagers.

This book deals with several current and important topics. Teenage suicide. The out-of-control social media and people’s overreaction to it as well as ignorance of what is actually being posted. Teenage romance. Homelessness and the people caught up in it. It deals with following God’s prompting even in the face of hopelessness. And it deals with hope.

The cast of characters is fascinating. There are very few “normal” people. But then, in real life, there are very few normal people as well. We all want to think we’re normal, but we’re not. Everyone has their idiosyncrasies, their oddities, their uniqueness. And Ms. Ross has put together a wonderful collection of people that Paige encounters on her journey. Some help, some hinder. Paige’s father is a world-renown chef and Paige is a chip off her father’s block. Be prepared to be hungry while reading this. Many dishes are described in detail.

The setting is a small town in Texas and some of the surrounding area. The attention to detail is at a good level. Enough to get a picture, but not enough to slow it down.

My only complaint is the denouement drags on a bit too long. But it was good to know what happened to all the characters I grew to love.

The pace of the story moves well. I didn’t want to put it down and usually read much larger chunks than I had originally planned. Ms. Ross has created a page-turner without needing suspense or thrills. I wanted to know what would happen next with and to Paige. She is a remarkable character who endures an incredible amount of pain and suffering, yet in the end comes out the better for it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard Topic but Valuable To Read
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2024
The opening scene of this story was a little graphic to me and could be a trigger for anyone who has gone through an assault. The guys are pretty rude and use descriptive words I thought were inappropriate. I understand that we are witnessing an assault but I would hope that in a Christian fiction book the author could have found a different way to explain what was going on.

I did continue the book hoping for redemption, hope and healing for this young woman. As the young woman begins to wake up in the hospital she can’t remember anything. She has no idea what she has been through. Her body tells a story of beating an unwanted attack and left for dead. Someone stopped to help and brought her to the hospital. Whoever the man was he left in a hurry but he probably saved her life.

Something really strange is going on with this mysterious young girl at the hospital. People are calling her Paige but she has no memory of that name. She turns on the TV in her room and sees a reporter taking about a protest outside the hospital she is at. When someone sneaks in her room to harm her she suddenly remembers everything.

The story starts to make more sense when readers find out about a site where young people go who are contemplating suicide. Behind the screen answering these posts are Paige. She made the page for “people to go to for reassurance.” She had scriptures posted and names and numbers of counselors for those who were were looking for help. How sad that the site turned into something ugly from comments that pushed people to the edge.

Danger gets closer to Paige every day but what is most worrisome is her head injury. When she runs out of medication she starts to have blackouts or seizures. Thankfully the place she has found refuge is there to help her. I liked this part of the story because it talks about homelessness. There is an epidemic in our nation where people find themselves without a place to live. I appreciate the author highlighting this issue we all should help solve.

Suicide is a big topic in the story and Paige thought her website would help but unfortunately it had people coming to the site telling others how to end their lives. Paige is so overwhelmed with guilt and has no one to turn to. Her mother is a huge problem. She is overbearing and uses her authority in the community to threaten people to give her information about her daughter.

The story is an illustration of how someone reaches out to a hurting person. They don’t want any recognition but do it make amends for something. There is so many great lessons within the pages of this book. God is at the center and I loved how the author brought people together who were looking for help, a new beginning and to feel wanted.

“Sometimes we have to miss what’s most precious to us in order to appreciate it.”

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Direction on this well Known Story
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2024
Chevron Ross, has recently released a book titled “The Samaritan’s Patient.” This book is based loosely on the parable of the good Samaritan found in the Bible. As an avid reader and a Christian myself, I was intrigued by the concept of this book and decided to give it a read. And I must say, I was not disappointed.

What sets Ross' book apart from other fictional retellings of Biblical stories is his decision to not embellish on the original Biblical account. This approach may seem limiting to some, but I believe it is a refreshing change. In a world where fiction is often used to manipulate and distort the truth, Ross' decision to stay true to the Biblical narrative while using it as the backdrop of the story is commendable.

The book follows the story of Paige Abernathy, a woman who wants to help people struggling with depression and anxiety. She created a website where people can share their thoughts and feelings anonymously. However, things take a turn for the worse when some users start sharing their plans of committing suicide on the site. Paige, with her good intentions, tries to help them by giving them Biblical references and encouraging words. But she soon realizes that her approach is not working for everyone.

This brings us to the central theme of the book - even our best intentions can sometimes lead to unintended consequences. Ross beautifully portrays the struggles and failures of Christians in this book. We may try to do good, but we are still human and prone to making mistakes. It is only through the grace of God that we can truly be good. This message is echoed throughout the book, reminding readers that our faith in God is what makes us truly good.

One of the most powerful messages conveyed in this book is the impact we can have on others, even if we may never know it. Paige's website may have caused chaos and harm, but it also helped some individuals who were feeling hopeless. This is a reflection of real life - we may never see the impact we have on others, but that does not diminish its significance. Through this, Ross reminds us that our actions, no matter how small, can have a ripple effect in the lives of others.

The book also has a strong resemblance to the parable of the good Samaritan in the Bible. Just like the good Samaritan who helped a stranger in need, an anonymous person in the book comes to Paige's rescue when she is brutally attacked. This person pays for her medical bills and remains anonymous, just like the good Samaritan in the Bible. This adds a layer of depth to the story and reinforces the message that kindness and compassion can come from unexpected sources.

In conclusion, 'The Samaritan’s Patient” is an excellent book that stays true to the Biblical narrative while also addressing universal themes and struggles. Ross' writing style is engaging and thought-provoking, making this book a must-read for both Christians and non-Christians alike. It serves as a reminder that we are all flawed, but through our faith in God, we can strive to do good and make a positive impact on others. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a meaningful and thought-provoking read.
I received a complimentary copy from the author through Celebrate Lit, I voluntarily give my own honest opinion.
