Barbara Linn Probst, the Author of “Roll the Sun Across the Sky” has written a thought-provoking, captivating and intriguing novel. In this well written and reflective novel, the author vividly describes the landscape, scenery, and dramatic characters. The genres for this novel are Women’s Fiction, Motherhood, and Marriage and Divorce. The characters are described as complex, complicated and flawed. In this novel, the author discusses how past behavioral mistakes can contribute to actions in the present and future. I appreciate that the author also mentions the importance of family, forgiveness, second chances, love and hope. Other questions arise is the importance of money, and is the pen mightier than the sword? Can words be dangerous, or creative?

The protagonist of the story Arden Rice is about to celebrate a birthday that turns out to be tragic. She revisits her life, her loves, her secrets, her betrayals, her mistakes, and bad choices. Arden is seeking some sort of redemption for herself and her granddaughter. As secrets and perceptions are clarified, Arden is looking for a positive path. I couldn’t put this book down, and I highly recommend it. This is an amazing, memorable, and heartfelt story.
