Thank you to the publisher , author, netgalley for allowing me to read and review this wonderful book. It is well written. i will share my review with goodreads, bookbub, Barnes and Noble, CBD.com, facebook, my blog, books a million., Amazon. I will share my review with the church staff.
I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher for an honest review. I think people can read a book and get different things from it and I think this book is going to do that For me, my young grandson was diagnosed with cancer and I went through so much of what Tommy did. You will have to read the book but the outcome for my grandson was the same as it was for Annalee, Tommy’s girlfriend.
Here we are in 2020, and what is happening with the police. In this book, I read about the police, what they go through, what their mothers and family go through, the fear and Karen Kingsbury gave me a better understanding of the why.
The book also tells us about 911 in a different light. As I read the book, it was healing. I could see where God was guiding Karen Kingsbury while she wrote it and I think this is the book so many are going to choose to read this year when it is published. God is in the book and He comes through this book with a reminder, don’t give up, keep putting one foot in front of the other, pray and let Him lead you. We all need this book in 2020. I can’t wait for the book to be published on December 2, so I can share it with my friends and family. I know this is a book that they will really enjoy reading.
