Muriel Ross is doing what she had only dreamed of, traveling and being immersed in the study of people and history. Employed by Senator Bryan to authenticate a relic, she finds herself in the middle of political conflict and the test of faith. Davis Bunn writes a story that illustrates keeping and sharing your faith in the midst of conflict in The Fragment.

There are two main pieces to this book, the story itself and the message behind it. The story is one that holds your attention throughout. Though it is not what I would call fast paced, it has a fluid and continuous movement. The characters and places are detailed enough that you can picture yourself there beside them seeing what they are going through. Even with the relatively short length, the plot is well developed and easy to follow.

The message is what I like best; standing firm in your faith even when you aren’t sure what it is you’re getting ready to face. Muriel is unsure of the events that she goes through, unsure of what the outcome will be. However, she knows that God will be with her and that Jesus’ love is enough to hold her up. She also lives out this love, both by sharing it with others and by putting her wants aside to help others.

Davis Bunn has written another great book that I really enjoyed reading.

I received a free copy of The Fragment in exchange for this review.
