Thanks to all who reviewed. I really appreciate it.
I
loved loved loved Free! I read it in one night,I couldn't put it down.
She seemed so real to me & the descriptions of different cities
& towns painted such a clear picture, I felt I was right there. I
can't wait to read more from Lisa Litberg! --

It seems to me that Lisa Litberg in this novel, do not offer to be
philosophical or to have the answer for all the questions, nor the
characters don't promise to be the ideal people that you would love but
in the in the end, it is a precious jewel of a story and Free is an
endearing character that could be anyone of us at some point in life -
the rawness to the story, the transience to it, the unapologetic sense
of what have become of the characters in the story is the beauty to this
novel. It doesn't teach you what to do, it just shows you what could
happen and the consequences of the choices that the characters made. The
book makes the reader think, or perhaps makes us wiser in making our
own choices. --Jeques B. Jamora
What a terrific read. Could
not put this book down. I had to find out where Free was headed.
Wonderful book and I hope hope hope Lisa Litberg has more stories to
tell. --Adam R
This is a great read! Read it in 2 days. I loved
getting to know Free (I can totally relate to her at times) and I hope
to read more from author Lisa Litberg. Download it or buy the book --
you won't be disappointed. --C. Stewart
AMAZING FUN READ! I'm
already hoping for a sequel or a movie! Author does an excellent job of
developing the characters and holding your interest. The book covers a
young girl finding herself as she follows the Grateful Dead across the
country and her experiences and the people she meets along with way. It
is very identifiable for those of us who grew up in the sixties and to
every young person just following their heart. Highly recommend taking
the time to read this one. --Patricia Somogyi

Free is an excellent
book, and very easy to read. The characters are well fleshed out and
draw us in from the very beginning. Ms Litberg brings the culture of
drugs and the 90s into life. Free is a character that we like, a
character we can understand and someone we cheer for from the opening
pages. I couldn't put this book down once I started to read.
Bravo to the author on her first book! --Amazon customer
Free personifies the wanderlust many of my generation experienced at
that age. Regardless of the forces that kickstart Free's experiences,
you get drawn into her journey of self-discovery as she learns about
herself through her encounters and travels. Her final geographical
destination never concerned me as much as seeing Free find peace of
mind. I'm hoping to read more about Free soon.
--Original Wild One
Free pulled me into her world so quickly I found myself halfway through
the book the first time I opened it! A great read that kept my
attention through the end, which by the way was the only thing I didn't
like, it ended! Hope to read more about Free soon or any book by author,
Lisa Litberg. --Sunshine Baba
I couldn't put this book down
and finished it in its entirety on a 3 hour plane trip yesterday. I felt
like I was tagging along with Free on her travels across the U.S. Very
unique voice and a great summer read especially if you're on a U.S. road
trip (or just dreaming of taking one!). --Amy Bizzarri
_Free_, by Lisa Litberg, is a haunting tale that evokes a myriad of
emotion in the reader as it follows the plight of a lost young woman
self-named Free on Grateful Dead tours. The first person point of view
perfectly suits this story. It allows us to feel her sense of
estrangement, fear, and all-too-rare happiness. In one sense, it's a
coming-of-age story as we follow Free's exploits around the country, but
this is no feel-good tale. I found myself worrying about her as she
flew by the seat of her pants in oftentimes dangerous and volatile
situations. Free represents just one young girl of a lost generation of
kids running away from painful home lives. While many of these kids fall
prey to the specter of drugs and predatory people, Free has the grit to
maybe make it through the morass of street life to find and save
herself. Litberg has created a well-written, compelling story that
engages readers as we take the metaphorical and physical journey with
this young woman. But it leaves us wondering if freedom isn't just
another cage. I'm a fan of intimate character studies, so this book
captured my interest and imagination. As with most great books, it
leaves us with lingering questions—and wanting more. _Free_ is highly
recommended! --Cyn O.
An evocative tale of a few troubled years in a young woman's life. I only wish it had been longer. Recommended! --Hunter
I absolutely love and recommend this book to everyone. While Free
could be anyone, she is one of the best identifiable characters I've
ever had the pleasure of reading about. She goes through her life
learning like most young women do, she has hardships, she becomes
stronger and she most of all, should empower young women everywhere to
take the journey to find out who they are. This was a quick read for me
because I couldn't put it down, when I did, I had to go back and read
more because it had me hooked. I had to know what happened to Free next!
If you are looking for a quick, fun read that keeps you turning the
pages, this is one!! --Jennifer Gunn "J. Gunn"
I found Free to be a very engaging read. It is a unique coming of age story. --

Really enjoyed this book & didn't want it to end. Hope there is a sequel .--Kathy Hebeisen
This is a fun quick read. There are moments that lead the reader to
pause and reflect on their personal life experiences and lessons
learned. Free has all these adventures that could be (is) a dicey life
style. Will her lessons be learned and acted upon. One just travels
along with her.
Where is volume 2? --J. Dale
Kept me
interested hard to put down. So realistic I could picture the scenes as I
was reading this. Last time I read a book like this was Joy In the
Morning. I could picture that book as a movie and it became a movie. I'm
hoping there's a sequel to the book and a movie. --Babynurse Rachel
Just finished reading Free by Lisa Litberg. The book is easy to read,
the story keeps moving, and I think there is definitely a call for the
next book for this character. Lisa keep up the good work. Looking
forward to reading more of your work in the future. --Linda S. Wright

Brings me back to a long ago time - when I
too was Free. But freedom has a cost, I see that now and am glad the
glass is half full, and I am not empty. --Matt Gallagher
