My review...
Relationship expert Josiah Chamberlain knows exactly how to help
couples, but he discovers that he is less-than-equipped to fix the problems in
his own marriage, especially when he didn’t even realize they existed. A tragic
accident causes him to view his wife Karin in a different light. He must battle
feelings of grief, anger, bitterness, and betrayal as he struggles to find hope
amidst his doubts.
This is a beautifully written and truly engaging heartfelt story,
which will remind the reader of God’s unfailing love. Some of my favorite
quotes from the story are:
·
“Grief doesn’t know how to tell time.”
·
“Some storms pass and leave the earth
refreshed. Others leave devastation in their path. Either way, you will go on.”
·
“Alone. It’s a feeling. Not a destination or
condition. God is especially near to those who think there alone.”
·
“Forgiveness — though invisible — leaves its
imprint on every heart it touches.”
·
“The
past has history but no breath. Today breathes.”
·
“A quiet moment of gratitude is never wasted.
·
“Where would we be if we hadn’t discovered that
seeds of hope can grow in mud?”
