The Valley and the Flood by Rebecca Mahoney
4.0

This was a strange little tale in a strange little town, Lotus Valley. A town full of "prophets" who can see the future and where "creatures" lurk. There is a flood set to come.... All due to Rose.

Rose lost her best friend Gaby and is diagnosed with PTSD. I actually like the imagery this book showed. PTSD can come in many, many ways and this was a neat look into the ways it is for Rose. I like the friendships she makes in this Lotus Valley and the way they help her heal a bit more.

This book is full of magical realism. It was very well done.
