THE THINKING LOG
A story about love, trust and betrayal, as told by Liberty who spends the day on what she terms, the Thinking Log, to rationalize her life with Adam up to the point of this day. This moment of contemplation has consequences she couldn’t possibly imagine. In it’s aftermath, lies are exposed, truths are revealed, and we see their relationship in a whole new light.
“I absolutely loved reading the Thinking Log; I couldn’t put it down. When the consequences were realized, I sobbed and experienced emotions I wasn’t expecting to feel… Rachel did a great job putting the characters together in a way that I was able to empathize with their story. I want to see a second book if only to know what happens with Adam.”
— J. Horvath, San Diego, California
Kick off your shoes, climb your childhood tree, perch yourself on the thickest branch, dangle your feet, and look down to Earth at your life well led by your open heart — I loved this book.
— A. Drolshagen, San Diego, CA
I loved this story from the first chapter. Rachel did a great job of introducing the characters. I loved Liberty and loathed Adam from the moment I met them, but hoped for the relationship to work out for Liberty’s sake. Rachel’s descriptions were so vivid that I felt like I was traveling with the characters, and almost felt a part of the story. The Thinking Log was an easy read, hard to put down, but provoked some deep thinking and self-reflection! I can’t wait to read more titles from R. Rachel Gauna!

“I loved this story. There were many instances where I could relate with Liberty. I cried throughout the book.”

About
R. Rachel
R. Rachel Gauna is a lover of the outdoors, be it the ocean or the deep wilderness of a backcountry trail. Her passion is the magic of words, whether they’re words she writes, words she reads or words she hears through song and other storytelling. The Thinking Log is her first published novel. Rachel who is originally from New Mexico, has lived in Central Texas, Colorado, Southern California, and Western North Carolina.
She currently resides in Amarillo, Texas, which is set on a plateau high in the Texas panhandle, where winds blow from all directions leaving her humbled by beautiful thunder storms, excited by popcorn worthy lightning shows, or mesmerized by life behind a beautiful snow globe.
It is here, discovering life with her two dogs, Ellie and Blaze, where she is working on her second novel.
