✦ Synopsis


Review

"Stunning and profoundly moving." - National Geographic Traveler magazine, which named Cross Currents __as its "Book of the Month"

"The back cover of Cross Currents includes blurbs from bestselling authors Wally Lamb and Amy Tan. I believe Lamb and Tan recognize what so many others see in Shors: a talented author who makes distant lands and events feel close to home and personal." - The Colorado Springs Gazette

"Cross Currents is an emotional and powerful novel, and one I would recommend in an instant!" - PeekingBetweenThePages.com

"Shors' advocacy for international causes clearly establishes his place as one of the most humanitarian voices in fiction today." - FreshFiction.com

"Shors is an immense talent." - Amy Tan, New York Times bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club

"Gripping, moving, and ravishingly written, Shors' latest is a stunning story of family, connection, and the astonishing power of nature."
-Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You

"A maelstrom of riveting action. I loved this book."
-Karl Marlantes, New York Times bestselling author of Matterhorn

"A supremely readable tale."
-Joan Silber, bestselling author of The Size of the World
