heart-wrenching yet redemptive

This is my favorite Janine Rosche novel to date. It addresses devastating loss, grief, and heartache but overflows with hope, forgiveness, and redemption. Sin and consequences bring regret and shame yet unconditional love triumphs over the ugliest of human actions and emotions. Told from Lori and Avery’s first person viewpoints, the narrative is raw, heart-breaking, emotional, and real. The dialogue, especially between Avery and Xander, is witty and brings humor to the story. Lori is lovable from the start as she wanders through her slow progress of reclaiming memories to recapture who she was before the accident. There are plenty of secrets and surprises in her journey of self-discovery, which had my mouth hanging open. I had mixed feelings about Michael her husband at the beginning but ended up admiring him in the end. Avery, Lori’s daughter, is feisty, smart, and passionate but weighed down by guilt, rebellion, and angst. I loved loved Xander and his patient, tender kindness and love for Avery. The accident cost Lori, Michael, and Avery much but allowed them to see their self-imposed prison of selfishness and harm to seek a better way. If you’re a fan of stirring women’s fiction, this book is for you. I received the book from Revell via NetGalley and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
