From #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury comes a “heart tugging and emotional” story in the Baxter Family collection that will “touch readers deeply” (RT Book Reviews) featuring two people who lost their parents in the same national tragedy–two people desperate to find each other and the connection they shared for a single day…that changed everything. Brady Bradshaw was a … everything.
Brady Bradshaw was a child when the Oklahoma City bombing killed his mother. Every year, Brady visits the memorial site on the anniversary to remember her. Eleven years ago on that day, he met Jenna Phillips, who was also a child when her parents were killed in the attack. Brady and Jenna shared a deep heart connection and a single beautiful day together at the memorial. But after that, Brady never saw Jenna again. Every year when he returns, he leaves a note for her in hopes that he might find her again.
This year, Ashley Baxter Blake and her sister Kari Baxter Taylor and their families take a spring break trip that includes a visit to the site to see the memorial’s famous Survivor Tree. While there, Ashley spots a young man, alone and troubled. That man is Brady Bradshaw. A chance moment leads Ashley to help Brady find Jenna, the girl he can’t forget.
Ashley’s family is skeptical, but she pushes them to support her efforts to find the girl and bring them together. But will it work? Will her husband, Landon, understand her intentions? And is a shared heartache enough reason to fall in love?
With To The Moon and Back ”Kingsbury skillfully weaves a tale of divine love” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) in an unlikely love story about healing, redemption, hope, and the belief that sometimes a new tomorrow can grow from the ashes of a shattered yesterday. “Kingsbury writes with seemingly effortless poetic elegance, capturing the tender, intimate moments of daily family life as well as heart-wrenching flashbacks to fatal tragedy. A moving story of survival, of faith, and of beauty from the ashes” (Booklist).

All Karen Kingsbury books are awesome.
Very thought provoking
All of Karen Kingsbury books have great messages to all who seek God’s will for their lives
There has not been one of Karen Kingsbury’s book about the Baxters that I didn’t just love. Karen writes so that I feel like the Baxters and other families are people that I know. When the book ends and I don’t have another to read right away, I miss this family terribly.
Best Author, this book is so interesting, I had to read it in two days.
Take this book,and you will read it more than twice.
I always love Karen’s books.

Just finished this today and loved it! As my daughter’s husband always says about my daughter when she’s reading a KK book–she’s gonna laugh a while and cry a while then repeat! LOL
Never read a book by Karen Kingsbury that I didn’t like…
Very informative. This book is about the Oklahoma City bombing. It is about two strangers who lost their parents in the bombing and how it affected their lives. They meet one day at the anniversary of the bombing, spend a great day together and then loose touch. It shows how God works in people’s lives and through other believers (in this case Ashley Baxter), and through the circumstances and tragedies of our lives. God uses trials to bring us to saving faith in Him. Karen Kingsbury has another hit read!
This author never writes a bad book!!!
A beautiful story of loss, love, hope and faith. Karen Kingsbury writes with great details and compassion in her stories. This is another great one.
Wonderful read with valuable message.
Very good reading.
Love all of Karen’s books!
