I'm Not Sure How I Felt When This Book Was Done

This book is nothing but an emotional roller-coaster. I could stop there, but it doesn't seem like enough. Diana Colletti is a nun. The story should end there, but it doesn't. Diana always wanted to be a nun and her parents embraced Diana's choice after her older brother decided not to become a priest. Diana, also a nurse, has been selected to live and work in Kenya. Before she can leave, Diana must complete coursework and training as a Nurse Practitioner. For training, Diana has been assigned to Doctor Torrie Lassiter, a woman who is married to her job and takes her physical pleasures casually. Diana and Torrie quickly become friends and soon Diana moves into Torrie's guest room. However, after seeing Torrie with one of her flings, Diana becomes jealous and has to face her confusing feelings. She admits her thoughts to Torrie, the two share a passionate kiss, and Diana freaks out. The nun takes a week to think things through at the convent and comes back to embrace her new feelings for the doctor -- regardless of the consequences. As soon as they find each other, Torrie discovers she has an inoperable brain tumor. The best part is still to come. I won't tell how Torrie or Diana deal with the diagnosis. All I'll say is this book left me speechless. I wasn't sure whether to cry or yell, smile contentedly or go into a deep depression... you catch my meaning. This 10-year-old book finally made its way onto my bookshelf and into my thoughts... I'm sure for a long time to come.

Clutched my heart from the first word to the last

An earlier reviewer said this and I found it to be true. I read this book months ago and still think on it. The writing was superb and full of emotion. The characters were so strong and utterly endearing. It's not your typical romance and is quite heart wrenching. The writing was so excellent I found the author's other books and wish she would publish more.

This one is so good it will break your heart

There is nothing more tragic than a perfect relationship that is doomed for an early termination by something that neither one of the people can control. Torie and Diana will win you over to their story, but once you know where it's headed, you'll spend the rest of the story hoping that a miracle saves them. It doesn't, but then that's how life is. This story will make you hope there is an afterlife so that these two can continue their story "Forever".

most honest book I've read

Forever will grip your heart from the first word to the very last. I could not put the book down. I was cheering for Torrie and Diana from the get go. Do not miss this one!
