The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Just Past Oysterville':

Reviewer Perry P. Perkins wrote:
Even before I read JUST PAST OYSTERVILLE, I knew Perry Perkins was an amazing writer from reading his short stories, but this book placed him permanently within the group of authors whose books I will buy immediately upon release. This book is so much more than the usual hyper-censored, unrealistic story to be found in Christian fiction. The characters are real people with strengths and weaknesses, and they live real lives filled with anguish, love, mistakes, and triumphs. And the underlying message of God's love is relayed so effortlessly and so poignantly that it comes through loud and clear and leaves the reader with such a wonderful feeling of hope--just the way I believe Jesus would have done it. I encourage everyone who loves a good story to read this book, and I can't wait to read the next installment in the series, Shoalwater Voices!

Book description:

A child abandoned. A life destroyed. Two hearts, unable to forgive... When a drunk driver leaves Cassie Belanger an orphan, a cryptic letter, found among her mother's belongings sends her on a journey across the country in hopes of finding the man who fathered her but chose not to be her father. Driven by her anger, her bitterness and her desire to confront the man who abandoned her, Cassie meets Jack, a crusty old bachelor headed in the same direction. In his face Cassie begins to see what can happen to a heart that refuses to forgive. Will she forgive her father, or turn away from him and remain an orphan? Who is Jack, and how is his own shadowed past linked to her own? Will Cassie Belanger find the power that lies in forgiveness and the miracle of God's unwavering desire for our salvation? The answers lie... Just Past Oysterville.
