Someone found him in a laundry basket at the Quick Wash, wrapped in a towel, a few hours old and close to death. They called him "Baby Moses" when they shared his story on the ten o'clock news.
It all happened before I was born, and by the time I met Moses and my mom told me all about him, the story was old news, and nobody wanted anything to do with him. People love babies, even sick babies. Even crack babies. But babies grow up to be kids, and kids grow up to be teenagers. Nobody wants a messed up teenager.
And Moses was messed up. Moses was a law unto himself. But he was also strange and exotic and beautiful. To be with him would change my life in ways I could never have imagined. Maybe I should have stayed away. Maybe I should have listened. My mother warned me. Even Moses warned me. But I didn't stay away.

By Natasha is a Book Junkie “If I were to paint you, I would use every color.”You know you’re going to experience a myriad of emotions just by opening an Amy Harmon book, having personally welcomed many a sunrise curled up in bed sobbing like a baby while not getting a wink of sleep, simply unable to put her beautiful words down. But nothing could have prepared me for the sheer exquisiteness of this story, and for the marvellous characters Ms Harmon has once again gifted us with. Every part of this book surprised me, thrilled me, made my heart burst at the seams, and the biggest gift I’m going to give you, my fellow readers, is by not telling you what this story is really all about.“This is the story of love with no end . . . though it took me a while to get there.”We meet Georgia Shepherd at the tender age of seventeen—a simple girl from a small country town, a tomboy, a loving daughter. Georgia’s love of horses and her unique talent at taming them have always meant that her future would never be uncertain, but Georgia’s rather sheltered small town upbringing has also made her hungry to leave home for a while, seek the unknown and experience freedom for the first time in her life. Yet everything changes when a young man with an unusual life story moves into the house next door.“… when Moses came to Levan, he was like water—cold, deep, unpredictable, and, like the pond up the canyon, dangerous, because you could never see what was beneath the surface.”Moses Wright was born a ‘crack baby’, and found abandoned in a laundry basket when he was only a few hours old. Moses has always been different from other little boys of his age, his unusual looks only overshadowed by his peculiar behaviour, his unpredictable temperament and his determination not to let anyone get close to him. Constantly tossed from one relative to another, never wanted by any, repeatedly dismissed as a ‘messed up kid’ who could not be fixed, his life never became easy. However, everything changes for Moses the day his great-grandmother decides to take him in on a permanent basis, despite being advised against it by her entire family, her love for him making her confident she could pull him out of his self-imposed solitude. But Moses is not an ordinary young man. He holds a secret that has shaped his entire existence, every human contact, everything he sees around him, and that very secret has made him afraid of loving anyone in his life. His incredible but highly unusual art is a visual representation of everything he keeps to himself, his only escape from the images he cannot hide from.“If you don’t love, then nobody gets hurt. It’s easy to leave. It’s easy to lose. It’s easy to let go.”The last thing Moses expects to find in life is someone like Georgia Shepherd. She is open, unpretentious and her every failed attempt at making Moses warm up to her and let her be his friend only seem to make her even more determined to sneak through the cracks of Moses’ brooding disposition. Georgia is the kind of girl who loves freely, generously, and her pride never gets in the way of her honesty, regardless of how many times he rejects her or mistreats her with harsh words. She speaks without thinking, says everything and anything that is on her mind, gives her heart unreservedly, and eventually, a bit of Georgia’s light manages to shine through the dark cracks that Moses so desperately tries to hide.“She was a small town girl with a simple way of speaking and thinking, a frank way of being that turned me on and turned me off at the same time. I wanted to run from her. But at the same time, I spent all my time thinking about her.”As their budding romance progresses very slowly, and Georgia grows more and more attached to Moses, heart-shattering loss strikes this young man’s life again, and his future suddenly changes forever. When faced with returning to a place that only holds sorrow for him or taking off to never return to that place again, Moses decides to flee, leaving behind a heartbroken girl whose only sin was loving him without restraint.“I’m a very ordinary girl, Moses. I know that I am. And I always will be. I can’t paint. I don’t know who Vermeer is, or Manet for that matter. But if you think ordinary can be beautiful, that gives me hope. And maybe sometime you’ll think about me when you need an escape from the hurt in your head.”Seven years later, their paths suddenly cross again, but neither of them are the same as they once were. Life has changed them both deeply, taken away their innocence and altered their perception of what they once shared. However, some loves never fade, some loves survive all hurt, and some loves never stop reminding you of everything you should be grateful for.“Georgia’s eyes, Georgia’s hair, Georgia’s mouth, Georgia’s love, Georgia’s long, long legs.”As always, there is a subtle but very powerful message woven into every word, every single heart-warming scene. By letting us hear both the main characters’ voices, we are given the opportunity to bond with them equally, to understand them, empathise with them, share their hopes. Moses’ ‘secret’ is a crucial part of the story itself, an angle I never expected to find or adore so much, and because of the way it astonished me, I wish for you to uncover it on your own too. This is a book about gratitude, about never forgetting that there is always something to be thankful for in life, even in the grimmest of moments, and that it is never too late to seize happiness and never let go of it again. It’s a story that does not shield us in any way from soul-crushing heartbreak, a few scenes being so intensely distressing that I could not breathe from the sheer heaviness of them, but the beauty of the moments of joy we are given throughout this book is what we walk away with, smiling through our tears and babbling our own ‘five greats’ to ourselves.There are no words that would ever do justice to a story like this one. Ms Harmon has once again given us an inspiring tale to cherish forever, a story written so elegantly, at times even poetically, that breathes itself into our hearts and, hopefully, even leaves a small part of itself behind. An absolute delight to read, as always.“If you would just let me in, if you would just love me back, we could have a beautiful life.”

Not only is the chemistry, love, and even heartache between the two main characters, Moses and Georgia, undeniable, it's one of the strongest and most unique story lines I've read in a while.As for the plot, I can normally find the angle in the story, see the end coming. I never predicted it would end the way it does. I was literally on edge the entire book, in a good way. It's a page turner for sure.For those that have never read Amy Harmon before (I suggest you read all of them:) you'll know she's raw. Like most of her books, The Law of Moses has a bit of adult language and scenarios, but nothing that made me uncomfortable. Her characters are always human with their imperfections and flaws, and real emotions.In fact, the characters in The Law of Moses may be some of the most intense I've met yet. I guarantee you've never met anyone like Moses, but just wait until you do. I wasn't sure I even liked him for about the first quarter of the novel, but then it just hit me- this guy is really something special.The Law of Moses has a deep spiritual message without being spiritual. You can't get through this one and not contemplate your own thoughts on God and unconditional love, although never does she push that on the reader. In fact, I imagine it might just stir up some religious folks, I mean with all the talks of ghosts and what not. But that's all I'll say about that, I don't want to give too much away after all. Just know that your thoughts will be provoked and challenged. Like Moses says "If you're afraid of the truth, you'll never find it".I can normally speed through a book in just a day or two. But this one was different. This one was so intense, I had to read it in bits and process it before I could continue. I had to put it down for a minute about every quarter because it was that intense. When I finished, with tears rolling down my face, I just sat there unmoving. It was THAT good. Because of that, I give this book a rating not too many receive from me, and that's a true five stars. In fact, I think I'm still processing it. It will be one that I pick up and reread again someday for sure.

She seems to posses the ability to weave her words through my veins until the story syncs with my heart. That said, I had to take a few days to digest The Law of Moses. I had to take some time to decide how I felt about Moses. Some of the criticism toward the male lead I've seen in other reviews is understandable. He isn't the perfect hero. At times I didn't believe he deserved Georgia's love and effort. Then I remembered that he is not supposed to be. He is flawed. He is troubled. He does not believe himself worthy so we as readers can't help but mirror that sentiment at times.I have seen quite a bit of reviews complaining about the genre not reflecting paranormal. As a reader of several paranormal series, I have to agree with Amy that it doesn't fall in that category. It does however contain the mysticism that surrounds death and the hereafter. Anyone who has read Amy's previous books knows that she often tells stories that reflect the reality of the pains we feel in life but soothes us with the mysticism of faith and love. The Law of Moses continues in that tradition. The "paranormal" element people have taken issue with revolves around Moses' ability to see images of memories from people who have died. He then has to paint these images in order for the deceased to feel validated and leave him in peace.Anyone who focuses on this element of the story I feel misses the point. This is Moses' gift/curse, but I felt the reason behind it was to continue in the theme of love that goes along with this book. The story reminds us that love does not die when our loved ones do. Just as we continue to love them after they are gone, so do they continue to love us. Love does not exist in this plain alone.So after reading and digesting The Law of Moses, I find myself remembering the things I know but forget. Love is a grace. It is bestowed on us even if we are not worthy; and none of us are worthy if you give love based on an equation. There is no formula that says x number of good deeds + y amount of time together= love. I may have gone off on a tangent, but this is what Amy's stories do to you. They make you think a little more about the things you do and do not know.The Law of Moses is a love story, but it is love in all its facets - romantic love, family love, friendship love. If you are looking for a one dimensional love story, this book is not for you. If you are looking for a story that shows love in all its beautiful and sometimes dark colors, you will love this book.
