Lost December: A Novel ReviewThis Richard Paul Evans novel begins by recounting the biblical story of the Prodigal Son and states that this is much the same story. And that it is. It is, therefore, the predictable story of a greedy son who wastes his inheritance, hits the lowest point of his life, and yet is welcomed home by a loving and forgiving father.
The story is told through the eyes of Luke Crisp. He is born into a successful, wealthy lifestyle; all gained from hard work and wise decisions. He has an enviable relationship with his father, mutual love and respect. The influences of college friends tears that apart and changes his path in life. What follows is a whirlwind tale of extravagance, monetary waste, foolishness, deceit, rejection, and failure. This leads to his eventual downfall.
The main character warns you ahead of time that his story is the evil side of good-versus-evil, that you will find reason to dislike him. I can't say that I disliked him, just his choices. I think many people will see him instead as a good, hardworking person who is led astray, never really bad at heart but rather struggling with what happiness in life means. The fact that he consistently feels pangs of guilt and shame confirms that.
The second half of the story finds Luke at the very bottom. A true riches-to-rags outcome. He experiences life on the "other side of the tracks" so to speak. And when he couldn't dig himself any deeper of a hole in life, the love and care of a stranger turns his life around. This is where the lessons begin. Lessons is humility, gratefulness, the joy of giving and receiving, and ultimately true love.
As I mentioned, the story and its ending are predictable, but that is not a bad thing. It just reconfirms that life has its valleys and peaks, and in the end goodness wins out. All is well with the world.
My favorite quote from the book: "If it hadn't been for the darkness, I never would have known the light."
