The Emerald Atlas

Screen shot 2012-03-17 at 3.19.42 PM

I just finished reading a wonderful book called The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens.  It just came out this past April.  If you have the time, do not hesitate to pick it up from Barnes and Noble or your local library.  It was such a great story about good vs evil and the power and love of family.  Such a good book!!

Go to the book’s website here and check out some more info.  Let me know what you think!
