Review: Finding Alice – Melody Carlson

Posted by liz on May 27, 2008

Alice’s family is religious. As in, no TV, no dancing, no buying groceries at full price because it’s a sin, religious. They’re part of a harsh, judgemental church that believes all illness is possession and that no one is good enough.  When Alice starts to hear voices – scary voices – that tell her that people are following her and watching her – she knows the church won’t help. But when they find out anyway, they accuse her of being infested with demons. She runs away but not before being institutionalized in a place where she thinks they drug her, follow her and posion her. She escapes and finds herself in the streets. Can she find safety and a forgiving God before it’s too late?

I’d recommend this book to people older than 17.

A young doctor named Toby works in a relatively quiet hospital, until a naked man is brought into the ER and mysteriously disappears. Now Toby finds herself struggling to stop the spread of a deadly virus — before it’s too late!
