Gold And Fishes

Donna Carrick's "Gold and Fishes" is a well-written story, filled with just enough plot twists and research to make it a literary gem. The book begins with a woman seeking purpose after a failed relationship. As an aid worker, Ayla turns to her work to find purpose, and instead she finds so much more. As a series of unpredictable events unfold, Ayla finds what she's looking for, but her journey is filled with dangerous turns, eye-opening glimpses into the human capacity for greed; and ultimately, the human capacity for compassion. It turns out to be the very person Ayla wants most to help that gives her the drive to realize who she truly is, and the strength to persevere. This is a beautiful story, unique and delicately pieced together. Read it!

This book is full of fact and fiction. The author really did her research on the Tsunami and the story around that tragic event is so well done. It's a hard book to put down.
