Kerry Deckert Oiled for Life

“It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured.” With that opening line, Roberts launches into the world of a fugitive living in Bombay, India. The story is at times heart breaking and at times exhilarating. The challenges Lin faces are almost unbelievable but he never loses the heart of who he is. This is a beautiful, heart breaking book full of the best and worst of what makes us human. I couldn’t put it down. I also really enjoyed learning a bit about Indian culture. A great read!
