Beyond Tuesday Morning

I did not receive this book as of 14 June 2021

Read Beyond Tuesday Morning

There is nothing to dislike about this book or any book written by Karen Kingsbury. I have been reading her books and buying her books since 2003. I am trying to get my collection up to date again. The 9/11 series is such a heart warming series. It has certain surprises in all three books in this series. Get the kleenex box ready, you will cry while reading these stories.

A book proving God is in control of our lives

If you read One Tuesday Morning, then you must read this one. The reader really gets an in depth look into the life of Jaime Bryan and her sweet daughter Sierra and how they have moved on after September 11 in gradual stages that grip the reader. It keeps you feeling the sadness, sweetness, surprises as well as feeling the down times and the times of not understanding. I normally don't give 5 stars to any book but this one deserved it. Next on my list is Every Now and Then. Can't wait!

Inspiring series

Please read the 3 book series. A MUST for any book lover!

Excellent sequel

After reading ONE TUESDAY MORNING, I was glad to see that Ms. Kingsley had finished the story with a sequel. She did a great job and I would highly recommend both books as Kingsley is one of the better Christian writers out there. I only had one question and it bothers me but not enough to give the book 4 stars. I find it very hard to believe that Clay, during his first tour of St. Paul's, wouldn't have mentioned to Jamie that his brother had been in the World Trade Center at the time of the attacks. It's a small thing but his silence doesn't seem believeable. Still, the story would have come to a grinding halt if he did, so there you go.

An impressive Sequel

I have read 5 of Kingsbury's books now and I think I will eventually read them all. This book picks up three years after One Tuesday Morning with all of the same principal characters. As in the first book, there is an excitement in knowing something the characters don't, and you just can't wait to see when and how they will find out. Though the "secret" isn't quite as dramatic this time around, it's still an interesting process. I loved seeing how Eric's time with Jamie and Sierra left such a different impression on all of their lives. Jamie and Eric remembered it very differently and Sierra has hardly any recollection at all. I love the way Kingsbury thoroughly involves you with seperate stories before she ties them together, it feels like you really know the characters that way. Overall I recommend the book, though I doubt it would be as good without having read One Tuesday Morning first.

Just As Good As the First One

I was hesitant to start this book as I wasn't sure a sequel could live up to the first story. But Ms. Kingsbury managed to bring every character through 3 years of grief and pick up from there. What insight on her part! I love the theme of "Choose Life"; we can all learn from that at some point in our lives. Just three questions - What happened to Sierra's grandpa? Wouldn't Jamie have turned to him when making such important discoveries and decisions? Wouldn't she have included him in Sierra's life?

Great sequel!

This book is about healing and moving on past what happened on 9-11. This book is about Jamie, struggling with just that, as she gets involved with two men. She is constantly struggling with leaving the memories of Jake behind and moving on. The research on what happened on 9-11 was excellent. I thought that Kingsbury did a wonderful job, capturing the depth of people's pain after what happened to our Twin Towers. I loved how she had Jamie do volunteer work, helping people who lost loved ones in 9-11. As usual, Kingsbury's books rock! I look forward to reading more from her.

One of My New Favorite Books

I read One Tuesday Morning and loved it. Beyond Tuesday Morning was just as good and I hope for another sequel one day. No reader has ever touched me or brought me close to a book like Karen can. She is my favorite author.
