If you like The Lovely Bones and The Shack, read Forgiving Ararat by Gita Nazareth. I’m a publicist and fan of the book which is about a woman who unlocks the secrets behind her own murder. Read the first two chapters of this supernatural thriller at www.forgivingararat.com and read my review at http://forgivingararat.blogspot.com/
