Careful by randy Anderson Review


ABOUT THE BOOK


For two decades Tyler Gibbons has been keeping a secret from his family. At the tender age of sixteen, Tyler embarks on a student exchange program. Sent to the Andean city of Ambato, Ecuador, he finds daily adventure as he tries to fit in at school, connect with his host family, and navigate through a world of beaches, volcanoes, and jungles. But tucked deep inside this year are events so profound, so unexpected, they forever shape the man he will become.
Now, 25 years later, his mother pulls these soaring tales from her son, exposing, for the first time, the source of a deep unhappiness. While these memories contain the wounds of an unresolved past, they also possess the power to heal his painful present.
Thoughtfully crafted and boldly told, Tyler’s journey takes the reader on a wild South American adventure, while illuminating a mother’s unyielding power to heal her child.

My Review:
This is a great story about a boy growing into a man. Before he can, he has to learn from his past. I liked that the author had Tyler's mom be his confidant. This book reminded me that our parents always love us, and they are the ones who know our past, and childhood. I also liked reading about Ecuador. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
