Good Harbor, Entry 1

For my final book, I have decided to read Good Harbor, by Anita Diamant. I do not know anything about this book, but like I said in my previous first entry post, that is expected. However, unlike all of my other books, I have not even ever heard of this book. I literally just needed a final book, so I went down to my basement where I have a bookshelf of random books and I picked a book by its cover. (Speaking of which, I do not think it is totally wrong to judge a book by its cover. You can see if you want to read the book by seeing its style and main themes and general mood (typically, light romantic books have happy, colorful covers, while darker books have darker, more mysterious covers). That’s not to say you won’t be surprised by either liking the book or not liking the book which is different than you originally thought you would based on the cover, but I think the cover provides a good starting point for book choosing. After all, there is a cover for a reason...) However, this book that I chose said that this is the author of The Red Tent, which my mother recommended and told me to read, so I assume this book will be pretty good. I read the summary flap and found that there are some parallel plots going on and it is about motherly love (or something like that I think?), etc. I’m not entirely sure the details because the summary was a little vague, but I bet I will figure them out when I read the book (and if I don’t, then I will see why this random book was on the basement shelf in the first place...)
