The Encounter is a short fictional story about facing the hurts and secrets of our past. The story centers around Jonathan Rush, a very wealth CEO who goes to Alaska on a personal mission to find out about his past, in particular why his mother abandoned him. His anger, resentment, and bitterness about his past had destroyed three marriages and led him to try to commit suicide. He knew he had to deal with his past and figure out how to forgive his mother and himself before his past finally caught up with him.
The Encounter is a short story stopping at 140 pages. I read the book straight through in about an hour and it kept me reading the entire time. The book is real short and seems like it could be longer and that things could be expounded upon more. The message of the book isn’t incomplete, but for such a hefty topic the book is very short. I really liked the book in that the message was super clear. Overall it was a good read, a short one, but a captivating story with a message that is often not told about in our culture.
I received this book free from the publisher and am not required to write a positive review, but one of my own opinion.
