Review:

Facing the Son, A Novel of Africa" by M  L Rudoph was really a suspenseful and wonderful  read.  I really enjoyed being able to feel like  I was traveling  in Africa along as I was reading....and what a ride! This was definitely one travelers worst nightmares and one I couldn't put down until I had finished with ...'Facing the Son.'  This was basically
a story of a father seeking redemption...looking for his estranged son to deliver a letter from his dying mother.

The ex wife (Melanie) of Matt Reiser had stage four lung cancer and her one wish was to have their son, Karl, come to her before she dies....and  that meant   Matt would have to travel to The Ivory Coast in  Africa.  Matt Reiser was on a mission in Africa in search for his son...he finds himself in a horrible situation where he is beaten and robbed of everything...down to his passport and even his shoes his was a dropped in a slum....what a horrendous ride....definitely you can see how  things did go wrong in this  third world country...Africa.  Now,  how Matt gets out of this mess is really a mystery and lots of suspenseful settings.   Reiser is found to be running from not only thugs but government officials...in this urban  and rural  Africa.  There are so many twist that come along in the read.  Just  who could be trusted?   You will just have to pick up this wonderful read to find out how this all turns out. 

The author did a wonderful job keeping you on a roller coaster ride until the end. "Facing the Son, A Novel of Africa" was truly a wonderful novel that is well written... with  good plots ...and  a heart stopper ending!  If you are in for some mystery, suspense, drama and adventure then I would recommend "Facing the Son, A Novel of Africa" as a excellent read.
