Book Review: Shackles, by Dianne J. Wilson

Shackles: The truth will set you free

This book is great. Set in South Africa in the mid-80s, Shackles tells the story of a young orphan girl, Rebecca, who longs to discover who she really is.

Meanwhile, Jason discovers a package of carefully preserved letters that will change his life forever. Filled with curiosity, he begins to unravel the mystery between the pages. Soon, he finds himself entangled in the life of a girl he’s never met, a girl who is in trouble. Her story not only inspires him to become a better person, but also awakes in him a desire to finally listen to his conscience.

Personal Comments

I couldn’t stop reading this book from the moment I opened it. One of the things I liked the most about it was the way in which the characters mature throughout the story. As I read the book, I came to love Jason and Rebecca deeply. Besides, I found them to be really relatable and authentic characters.

I was also inspired by how they learned to be faithful despite the difficulties, and how this helped them when facing challenges. It is a story packed with warmth, gentleness, and a powerful message.

If you are looking for a mysterious, deep story, you should definitely read Shackles. You can download it on Amazon!
