In the end, it's the choices we make that affect us all." *** Susan K.

Readers of South Heaven will quickly identify with the attractions that lure visitors to this lakeshore community - sandy beaches, Lake Michigan, quaint downtown and colorful, sunsets. But as the book's college-age characters - Mickey, Josie, Jack and Jerrid - find out, pursuing the many summer pleasures offered in a beachtown can bring about grave consequences." *** Becky Burkert-Kark, Editor, South Haven Tribune *** "Jerry Lambert has crafted an enjoyable tale with interesting characters in a vivid, beautiful setting that can be read in a couple of sittings. Young girls and guys alike will get into and be able to really relate to at least one of the major characters. It's a story of choices and consequences and will make the readers think about choices they are facing, or will be facing, in their lives. Great book to stir conversation with sports teams, youth groups or your own kids." *** Mike McGeath, Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) Regional Director, Volleyball Coach at Heritage Christian High School, Western Michigan University Football Player. ***
