With Reverent Hands: Keeping Her in the Light

I bring you with reverent hands / the books of my numberless dreams.

-WB Yeats, "A Poet To His Beloved"

WB Yeats, I'm sure, gave books to his beloved that he valued highly himself, and that he handled with reverence.  If you had to recommend a book you revered to someone, what would it be?
 
I'm asking you to highlight one book.  One book that you adore, that you prize, that changed your life, that you would save from a burning building, that you found serendipitously on a library shelf or at a used bookstore, looking lonely and ignored.  A book that thrills you but that, you have come to realize, no one else has really ever heard of, much less read.  With Reverent Hands is all about those books- the ones that deserve a wider audience than they are given and that you want everyone to go out and read, even if they are out of print.

This week's post is by a blog follower I didn't even know I had until he emailed me asking for the With Reverent Hands template!  It was so exciting to hear from someone I never knew before and so I thank him for making my day so great with his email!  Unfortunately, I don't have much information about him to share with you, so I shall just say thank you, Jomel, for participating and let him share his book with you.  It's the shortest book spotlighted so far!

NOTE:  Jomel is related to the author of the book he is choosing to spotlight below.

What is it about?  Please give a brief summary.

Keeping Her in the Light is a psychological thriller that explores the relationship between a serial killer and his recent captive, between a cunning predator and a strong-willed prey. It focuses on the events that lie between the uncharted gap between capture and escape as it delves into the complexities of the Stockholm and Lina syndromes.

What makes the book stand out to you?  Why do you love it?

The book is more than just a psychological thriller as the author cleverly intertwines in the captor-captive situation her own concepts of light, darkness, beauty, human hope, uniqueness, cause and effect, peer pressure, importance of solid family education and training when kids are still young. . . The author demonstrates some mastery of the intricate skills of writing thrillers. The book is a page-turner.

Do you have any quotes you would like to share?

Hope can be gotten from darkness just as much as it can be extracted from light. You will find that there will only be more darkness at the end of every tunnel, and you will learn to find hope in it.
