Christian Erickson is the perfect man: sincere, handsome, intelligent, and passionate. Maiya Hightower has searched for a man like him throughout her entire life. Unfortunately, when she finally finds Christian he is already taken. Maiya reluctantly settles for a close friendship with Christian and the two of them become inseparable. In the midst of turmoil in her personal life, Maiya gives birth to a beautiful daughter Angelina, but fears that Angelina will make the same mistakes in her life that she did. Thus, she leads Angelina to believe that a man she has never shared one single act of intimacy with is her biological father. She wants Angelina to grow up with high expectations so she places Christian, who is no longer a part of her life, onto a well-deserved pedestal and convinces Angelina that he is the role model that any young man that comes into her life must follow. Angelina becomes immersed in Christian's world through his words: books, magazine articles, and personal letters written to her mother. Even though she has never met him, she is his daughter by spirit. Maiya continues this farce for sixteen years with the help of her best friend and mother who oppose the situation but both have been drawn into the lies to the point where they can't get out of them. But like all things in life, whatever you do in the dark eventually comes into the light and Maiya is faced with the consequences of her actions. The only question is will her relationship with her daughter survive. An emotional rollercoaster, Daughter by Spirit will likely move you to tears. This novel is for anyone that appreciates the importance of building close emotional ties and expressing feelings to loved ones before it is too late. V. Anthony Rivers writes with sincerity and passion and is a dynamic new voice in the literary field. -Zane, author of Addicted, Shame on it All, and The Sex Chronicles: Shattering the Myth Daughter by Spirit is a moving novel. The characters are written so crisp, the dialogue flows so nicely that you're able to follow every scene, building up to the novel's dramatic conclusion. The novel is so pure, so deep that moments within it will move you to tears and to joy. Rivers does an excellent job in pulling you into the story's dramatic plot and leaving you soulfully satisfied at the end of a fastly-paced novel. I will definitely be on the look out for future novels by this author! -Shonell Bacon, The Nubian Chronicles and co-author of Luvalwayz

这本小说简直是让人欲罢不能,仿佛被一股无形的力量牵引着,一页一页地读下去,根本停不下来。作者的笔触细腻得令人心惊,对人物内心世界的刻画入木三分,每一个选择,每一次挣扎,都让人感同身受。它不仅仅是一个故事,更像是一场深刻的自我探索之旅。我尤其欣赏它对于环境氛围的营造,那种若有似无的悬念和压抑感,总是恰到好处地吊着读者的心。读到某些转折点时,我甚至会屏住呼吸,生怕错过了任何一个微小的线索。书中那些关于人性复杂性的探讨,那种灰色地带的描摹,非常真实,让人在合上书本后,还会久久地沉浸在对角色命运的思考之中,这才是好文学作品的魅力所在。这本书无疑已经在我心中占据了非常重要的位置,强烈推荐给所有喜欢深度阅读的同仁们。
评分这本书给我最深的触动,是它那种近乎残忍的真实感,它没有给你提供任何简单的答案或明确的道德标杆。你跟随主角经历了无数的考验和选择,但每一次选择的后果都如同滚雪球般复杂化了局面。它不像许多主流小说那样提供一个清晰的“英雄之旅”,反而是展示了人性的脆弱和环境的强大。我喜欢作者处理冲突的方式,它不是通过外部的暴力或戏剧性的事件来解决,而是通过内在的、细微的精神对抗逐渐累积,最终导致不可逆转的改变。阅读过程中,我经常需要停下来,望向窗外,整理一下思绪,因为作者抛出的问题太大了,涉及了命运的不可抗力。它挑战了读者的预期,也挑战了我们对“好结局”的定义。这是一部具有持久回味价值的佳作,值得所有寻求真正文学体验的读者去探索。
评分读完后脑子里嗡嗡作响,感觉像是经历了一场马拉松式的精神洗礼。这本书的叙事结构极其精巧,像一个复杂的迷宫,初读时或许会感到有些迷失,但随着情节的层层展开,那些看似无关的碎片信息会奇妙地拼凑出一个宏大而令人震撼的图景。语言风格上,它时而如诗歌般优美典雅,时而又像冰冷的解剖刀一样精准犀利,这种强烈的反差感,让阅读体验变得极为丰富和立体。最让我印象深刻的是作者对于时间流逝的把握,它不按部就班地推进,而是通过闪回和预示,编织出一张密不透风的时间之网。这要求读者必须全神贯注,才能跟上作者的思维跳跃。对于那些追求阅读挑战和智力激情的读者来说,这本书绝对是饕餮盛宴,它成功地颠覆了我对传统叙事模式的认知,非常值得反复品味。
评分这部作品的节奏控制简直是教科书级别的范本,起承转合之间,那种张弛有度的拿捏,让我的心跳跟着文字的起伏而波动。开头部分的铺垫是如此的缓慢、谨慎,像是在冰面上行走,每一步都小心翼翼,生怕惊动了水下的巨兽。然而一旦进入中段,那种情感的爆发和情节的加速如同山洪泄洪,瞬间将你卷入漩涡。作者对于环境的运用也极为高明,特定的场景总能精准地映射出角色的内心状态,让整个故事仿佛拥有了自己的呼吸和生命力。我特别欣赏那种环境与人物精神状态的相互映照,这种文学上的“通感”效果做得非常出色。此外,书中对社会现象的隐晦批判,也为故事增添了一层厚重的现实底色,让人在享受故事本身的同时,也能得到更深层次的思考和共鸣,非常耐人寻味。
评分坦白说,我一开始是被那个极具冲击力的开篇吸引的,但支撑我读完的,是角色之间那种令人窒息的、纠缠不清的关系网。这本书的魅力不在于宏大的背景,而在于对微观情感的极致放大。那些对话,读起来简直像是在看一出精心编排的舞台剧,每一个字背后都藏着未说出口的潜台词和深层的动机。作者对人物性格的塑造达到了“残忍”的程度,让你既同情他们,又忍不住去评判他们的每一个决定。它探讨了爱、背叛和救赎这些永恒的主题,但却用一种极其新颖、不落俗套的方式呈现出来。读完后,我感觉自己像是参与了一场漫长而痛苦的心理咨询,被强行拉出了舒适区,直面了一些自己不愿意承认的人性阴暗面。这是一部需要沉下心来,用灵魂去阅读的作品,绝对不是可以“翻过去”的那种轻松读物。
