A Map of the Known World

The story A Map of the Known World by Lisa Ann Sandell is great. This is more of a life living story compared to her other books like The Weight of the Sky and Song of the Sparrow. After the death of an older brother, son, friend, the characters all find a way to become united with each other once again. The theme of A Map of the Known World is to always show your talent no matter what it is and every time you fall you always stand back up in all situations.
               
An artistic young teenage girl, Cora Bradley, reunites with her brother, Nate’s old friend Damian Archer. Damian was in the car with Nate when he crashed the car. Damian shows Cora things about her brother Nate that nobody knew about him. Cora shows off her and her brothers artistic talents and makes everyone notice how much talent the siblings have. Although Cora’s family doesn’t like Damian, they all become close again at the end of the book showing all respect to Nathaniel.
               

I recommend for everybody to read A Map of the Known World because showing your hidden talents is important and Sandell is a great author. Lisa Ann Sandell has written many fascinating books, this isn’t her only one. I suggest reading this book immediately, I’m sure everyone will have high interest in the story.
