Connections by Sandra Olson

Sandra Olson has written a very nice story! I was pleasantly surprised to realize that the characters in Connections are the same characters from Rebirth, another of Sandra’s stories. Just like in her previous books, Sandra writes interesting fiction base on things she has experienced first hand. Rebirth was tied to her experiences as a nurse. Connections is tied to her experiences living in West Virginia and becoming acquainted with some snake handling churches there as well as her membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I enjoyed her perspective.

This story moves along well at the beginning and the end, but slows down a bit in the middle. I thought the story lines involving “the hunt” were strong–even creepy!

Thanks for the story Sandra!
