Why read it?

1 author picked Taken for Granite as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I personally love this book for several reasons; first, I love reading about strong women. Second, the experiences are real-life situations that draw you into Rocky’s life as if it is your own.

Third, it is at times funny and at times tense. This balance of emotions and actions keeps you on the edge of your seat.
