A couple at odds, a family in danger, and a boy who doesn’t speak. Frank MacBride’s intention to keep his family safe is complicated by relationship challenges with his wife Sofia, and by their young son Sam's increasingly unusual and unsafe behavior. No one can figure out why Sam doesn't speak, or why he appears to be aware of things he should have no way of knowing. He seems to think he can heal people, and has his own determined agenda to make that happen. All contributing to his parent’s distress. To make matters worse, people who Frank angered in the past may now be looking for some serious payback.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The story itself moves along very well. The chapter cliffhangers made me want to keep reading. The dialogue feels realistic, and the author appears to have familiarity with his subject . . . All in all, a well-written story."--Writer's Digest

From the Author

I felt compelled to write this book because it's about issues that are relevant not only to me, but to the world in general.I believe many people want more than just entertainment from what they read. People want substance, and something they can use that will enrich their life in some way.I hope you enjoy reading Different, and that you take away something higher that either you may not have had before, or something you could use more of.

I love writing exciting novels with a subtle metaphysical twist, focused on the goal of entertaining and inspiring others. My books explore themes such as reincarnation, clairvoyance, visions of the future, and similar topics.

I have full professional memberships in the Authors Guild, Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, and the National Speakers Association. My first novel, Different, won first place in the general fiction category of the Colorado Independent Publishers Association EVVY awards, as well as three other first-place awards and eight additional awards, including second place for general fiction in IBPA’s Ben Franklin Awards.

I picked this book up every possible moment I could make for it until it was a finished - and I’m usually the type to start books, but not finish. The storyline constantly drew me in, eager to find out where it would take me next. I got insights and perspectives through the events and characters that I’d normally arrive at during an in-person training or experience. Brilliantly written, thoughtful, and thoroughly entertaining.

Different had me from the start. I was fully engaged and committed after reading the first few first paragraphs of this book. A great read that reaffirms life is filled with unpredictable circumstances that lead one to ponder, wonder, doubt and trust. We are not always guaranteed answers.... Great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never had a single book read by so many people!

I found this book to be engrossing from the very beginning. I grew to know the characters and felt that I really knew each of them personally. Every time I felt I knew where the story was going there suddenly was a turn in the road. As I was coming close to the end of the book, I was sure I 'knew' the ending. What a shock when I got to the last few lines of the book and tears appeared in my eyes! I loaned this book to a friend who is not an avid reader while vacationing St. Maartin Island. He was glued to this book for three days and never even went into the ocean for a swim. A month later I asked to have 'Different' returned. As it turned out, he loaned it to a friend who then loaned it to another friend after she had read it. Just a couple of weeks ago I ordered my second copy and I'm hanging on to this book . . . at least for the time being! I highly recommend 'Different'!

Datta is an incredible story teller, and Different is a great read. The book was so easy to follow and at the same time I never knew where he would take me next. I love it when a book can do that. I can’t wait to read the next one from Datta Groover. I hope it’s soon!

If you like unending soap opera dialog, contrived set-ups and everyone speaking in the same voice then read this book. It was only because of the vow I made with myself that once I start a book I finish it before I can start a new one that finally got me to the end of this one. I'm now free to go on to a much better adventure elsewhere!!

This book kept me on the edge!! I read it in one day from front to back and I rarely do that!
The characters aren't perfect. They're human, and it was interesting to see what judgements about them came up as I read.
So it's a riveting story, but also you grow as a person from reading Different.

And though I was happy with the ending, I wanted even more so I hope there is a sequel!

I struggled through this book. Not only was it monotonous and boring, but as time went on, I came to dislike the main character who is a cheat and has no problem with justifying his actions. He's a coward. Ridiculous book. If the book had revolved around the son's gift in its entirety, it would've made for a much better story.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book to read over and over again
Reviewed in Canada on May 18, 2023

Different is a book that can be read many times, with layers of meaning to be discovered on each read through. In a Paulo Coelho style of writing, the characters in this book helped me to look at the world through a new lens and remember that miracles are everywhere if only I pay attention. A beautiful combination of suspenseful, tense, humorous, and heart-warming moments, I found myself at the end of this book before I wanted the story to be over. I can't wait for Datta Groover's next masterpiece.

Kept my attention. Great flow. Couldn't stop 'till I was done. Authentic enough councelling scenarios, recognized the references. Great read to expand the consciousness. And maybe even gain some relationship growth.
