enjoyable...
Swab your cheek. Read your DNA. Change your life! What could be easier?

That is the premise of the story. Small town Louisiana installs a photo booth type DNAMIX fortune teller in their local grocery store. For $2 change your life - get the readout and learn just what your potential really is. It doesn't take long for everyone in town, teens, housewives and professional people to try their luck. Among them are a married couple Douglas Hubbard and his wife, Cherilyn - who up to that time thought they were very happy. Then the changes begin...

Wow! Very enjoyable book ! Something new -not the same old, same old. A bit science fiction but I would say more magical realism. Once you are in this book the pages turn like softened butter - very smoothly you move from one thing to the next. Marriage, evolution, community, separation, division, redemption and wonder.

Tired of the same old thing? Open this book - take a journey like non other. Wow! Very enjoyable book !
