What would you do if the spirit of your dead twin brother came back?

What about if he inhabited the body of your adopted daughter?

Former drug addict, turned state prosecutor, Shane Occena has to deal with this when the little girl he rescues one night, named Shawna, declares that she's the reincarnation of his brother Shawn, that he'd lost over eight years before. Feeling a connection to Shawna that can't be talked away, Shane begins the adoption process and gains custody. When Shawna begins acting like Shawn, Shane takes her to see Child Psychologist, Tucker Ames. And that's when his life really changes.

Dr. Tucker Ames spends his days talking with children helping them heal from their scars and come to grips with their gender issues and sexuality, and his nights alone, hoping for a family of his own. When he meets Shane and Shawna Occena, he finally feels as if he's met the family that's destined to be his. But first he has to help Shawna heal from her childhood, Shane heal from his scars, and find a way to help Shawn cross over to the other side.

But when allegations are brought against Shane and Tucker's family descends on this makeshift family in Pensacola, will Tucker and Shane be able to stay together and be the parents that Shawna so desperately need? And will Shawn ever let go of his hold on Shawna and finally ascend to the afterlife? Tucker and Shane may think that they are Raising Shawna, but in the end, she may be the one to raise them all.

2.0 I've renamed this, "The Book That Never Ends"
The first half I was pretty on board with. It wasn't perfect, but the little twist with Shane's brother was cute and done well. It gave a splash of other but didn't quite feel paranormal. Shane gets Shawna, he meets Tucker, a little havoc ensues, some healing happens... and then the book should have...

3.0 Book Review: Raising Shawna by Vicktor Alexander
This would have been a fabulous book, and I enjoyed the overall story arc, if it hadn't been for the plot holes and themes that were picked up but not finished. The book needs an editor and a proofreader. If this is the published version (I'm not sure it is), it's full of missing words, punctuati...

This was pretty painful to read, it was a bit over the top and a LOT implausible. The premise and the issues being dealt with in the book were important and heavy. The main character (Shane), a recovering drug/alcohol addict gay man, finds a little girl. A little girl (Shawna) that has been abus...
