The Watcher

Twenty years ago Kathryn Ellison was raped. This traumatic event has defined her life and those close to her as she works out what it means to forgive. One of her attackers responds to the grace of God and forgiveness extended by Kathryn. Unbeknownst to Kathryn, the other seeks to complete the work he set out to do.

I found the constant flash backs made the story a little disjointed, and a little hard to follow. Other than that, I quite enjoyed the book. The subject matter was dealt with in a very sensitive manner, not sensationalizing nor trivializing, but overshadowed by the themes of forgiveness and grace. And I must say this is one of the more refreshingly unique works of Christian fiction I have read, sort of The Shack meets Frank E. Perreti. This book is definitely meant for a mature audience, but well worth the read.
