Well written, Worth the time.

About 5 hours of listening time on Audible, where I had the book read to me. Sharon Srock’s book was my first book through Audible. I was not disappointed.

The book begins with Jesse having just said yes to a lifetime of wedded bliss to Garrett. Usually the books I read end with this so I was instantly curious to see what would happen. I wondered if the author was going to throw me for a loop when the ex-husband reappeared after a twelve year divorce.

I wondered if maybe Garrett wasn’t actually the one for Jesse and maybe Tyson was going to win her back. The man tries really hard to convince her that God has brought them back together and that she belongs to him. Maybe he is being genuine in his apologies for breaking her arm and her trust all those years ago.

When Kerry, a student who came to Garrett for counseling, accuses Garrett of rape and paternity, not only does Tyson try to use it to his advantage, but the false accusation leaves Jesse second guessing herself. As soon as I saw, through the point of view of all the main characters, I wanted to be there by Jesse’s side.

I felt myself rooting for Jesse and Garrett. Poor Kerry had me almost praying for a fictional character. I wanted so bad for her to see the error of her ways, and I wanted to hug her and tell her everything would be okay. In the end I felt proud of her, but was left wondering what kind of decision she makes regarding the little life she carries.

Will she finish highschool and raise her baby, with her dad helping her? Who knows, maybe a future book answers that question.

One thing I particularly loved about Jesse and Garrett’s story was their spiritual dialogue. When things got hard or they were expressing thanks or even fear, they prayed. Having grown up in church, this is not new to me, but is often forgotten.

Hearing how each character prayed or spoke to God made me reflect on my own spiritual dialogue, and how I deal with things or people that have hurt me in the past.

This book was well written. It was easy to stay up late into the night to finish it. I reccomend this book, even if you haven’t read the first three books.
