Selah FinalistOne man stands between a destitute town and total destruction.Ten articles in eight days is a tall order for any journalist, even for Polk Award winner Connor Reedly. But with a dying wife and an empty bank account, the promised payment of $250,000 is hard to turn down. More so, his enigmatic employer, Mason Becker, has insinuated Connor's acceptance of the job will result in a supernatural healing of his beloved wife. The people of Hailey, California--the subjects of Connor's charged articles--are a secretive group, not willing to open up to strangers. When shots are fired and Connor is running for his life, he demands Mason answer his questions: Why are the articles so important? Is anyone going to publish them? Where is the money coming from? How can he be so confident that the completion of the articles will heal his wife? Nothing in Connor s vast journalistic adventures--not Katrina, not September 11th, not even his first-hand experience in the genocide in Darfur--could prepare him for the answers Mason gives. Now, it seems, the lives of everyone in Hailey--including his wife's--are in his hands. General Content (G) (I): Contains little or no; sexual dialogue or situations, violence, or strong language. May also contain some content of an inspirational/religious nature.… (plus d'informations)

Title: The Bargain Author: Aaron Gansky Pages: 284 Year: 2013 Publisher: Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas Connor Reedly is a reporter for a news magazine, who has been sent to various parts of the world to report on the human condition. His stories inspire hope in his readers. Too bad he doesn’t have much hope of his own. His wife is dying from ovarian cancer at a young age. She has an incredibly strong faith in God, but Connor refuses to believe. She longs for Connor to accept Jesus as his Savior, but knows that is something she can’t do for him; he must do so of his own choice. She asks to make the trip from Denver, Colorado to Hailey, California to visit her sister who still lives in the small town where they grew up. They arrive in Hailey and Connor is told by a town resident that if he writes ten articles about ten of the town’s residents in eight days, showing their goodness or righteousness, then his wife will be cured of her cancer. If he doesn’t write the articles, his wife will die and the town will be destroyed. Connor doesn’t believe this, but his wife encourages him to undertake the project. All Connor wants to do is spend time with his wife during her last days, but he will do anything to please his wife. He accepts the job and interviews his first subject. This story was very interesting and kept me entertained from beginning to end. The story is filled with tension, drama and great descriptions of the town and surrounding scenery. The characters are real with real strengths and weaknesses. Some of the characters are not what they first appear to be. Each one has a story to tell. I found this a fascinating study of the complexities of some of the small town’s residents. The main character, Connor Reedly, a reporter, undertakes the assignment of his life though he won’t realize it at its inception. My preference would have been to see more repentance verbalized by some of the characters in the story. The premise of the story is very original and intriguing, and I look forward to reading more books from this author. My rating is 4.5 stars.
