Anytime a person learns of a secret his life is changed whether good or bad. During that time, a friend or loved one is often needed to help him make it through the changes. In Heroes of the Heart by Rod Loche, Emerson and Claudia meet by chance. Together they would stand strong in battling each other’s difficult time.
Claudia and Emerson were from two different walks of life. He was comfortable working from home in a stable position making a comfortable living. She was still trying to figure out what she wanted to be. But both of them were the perfect friend the other could possibly ask for. Claudia was there for Emerson when he began realizing some thing about his family was a bit off. Emerson was there to try and open Claudia’s eyes to what truly had been holding her back from being successful in life. Would they both succeed in helping the other overcome the obstacles preventing from being happy?
The plot was unexpected and well developed. All the characters were well developed except for Claudia’s Aunt Hilda. While I enjoyed the book, I was disturbed by how Aunt Hilda was portrayed. She was supposed to be a woman from the islands; which is fine, but islanders do not speak phonetically or use a word that means something totally different from the actual word that should have been used. The technique used to signify her patios was poorly executed and left this woman sounding illiterate and ignorant. She was far from that, which I could tell from the conversation she had with Claudia and those around her. The timeline was inaccurate as well. I kept flipping back to make sure I was not missing something or I did not read something wrong. The timeline along with a few other errors could be cleared up with some more editing. It would help to move the story along smoother. Put all that aside, Heroes of the Heart was a descent read. I recommend this book to readers looking for an easy read.
