A Shot, A Miss "THE LAND BEYOND" review
A harsh but fair critique of Frances Snipes's debut novel. The story follows Wray Forrester and Alana Michael marooned after a plane crash, their romance complicating with island natives and social critique. The reviewer calls the work clumsy erotica and mawkish, yet values honest critique over false praise.
