Review – Where Rivers Part

From the back cover: Success too often comes with a price. Juliet never imagined it could be so high.

Dr. Juliet Ryan has devoted her considerable scientific acumen to corporate America, providing safe drinking water for millions–and affording her plenty of perks along the way. It’s not the path her estranged father would have her take, but then Juliet finds it difficult to maintain respect for a man she cannot trust. She’s on her way up in the world, and she’s not going to let anything drag her down.

But when a fast-moving disaster sweeps Juliet into a whirlpool of corporate scandal, lives are at risk–including those of some of the people closest to her. As she scrambles to find answers, Juliet must face her deepest wounds and join forces with the one who has hurt her most in order to expose a far-reaching conspiracy.

Like a mighty river with twists and turns and hidden rocks, this engrossing story will sweep you relentlessly along as it fearlessly explores the seduction of success, the fear of giving up control, and the redemptive power of learning to forgive.

Water. Water is a basic necessity of life. Juliet was working to get clean drinking water out to millions. You would never think that there would be a scandal surrounding water. Get ready “Where Rivers Part” is filled with tension and many twist and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Ms. Gilbert has baked greed, deceit, betrayal and corruption into this politically tense corporate scandal thriller. On the flip side of that there is the relationship between Juliet and her father, the nature of forgiveness and salvation. Ms. Gilbert is highly talented and keeps the story moving at a very high level of quality. Ms. Gilbert makes you care for all the characters and their journey.  This is also just plain fun and exciting as well.  Don’t start this book late at night because it will cost you sleep.
