5 stars - Listened to the audiobook narrated by Andrew Eiden. Fantastic job! I highly recommend the audiobook.

I had never heard of this author but another author recommended him to me. I was searching for more Christian fiction male authors besides those I was familiar with. I put this on my Bluetooth speaker today as I was doing a big task. I enjoyed it from the start. It takes a very unusual turn but it was wonderful!

This novel was about love. Romance. Marital. Parental. Community. Church family. And most importantly, Jesus. Life can be good, hard, or in between but His love never changes.

I enjoyed learning the back story of Paul and Rebecca before the tragedy. Their love story. I teared up as they went through their grief and Paul spiraled into an abyss. I cheered as he encountered Christ and the greatest story ever told.

I will definitely be looking for more books by this author. I didn’t expect to be taking in any Christmas reads in October but I’m so thankful that I did! What a beautiful story!
