ABOUT THE BOOK
Two sisters work to heal lingering childhood wounds and seek a new balance in work, family, marriage, and love when one receives a diagnosis that sets the clock ticking. Determined to save Sherri’s life, Kristen drops everything to guide her sister on the harrowing cancer treatment journey. When she’s unable to balance the strain of caring for her patients, being a wife and mother, and her frantic efforts to save her sister, Kristen’s carefully balanced life crumbles, starting with her marriage. Desperate to regain her footing, she vows to rebuild her broken relationships . . . as soon she’s sure Sherri will beat the odds stacked against her. Unlike her sister, Sherri Reynolds has worked to cultivate balance in her life. Her children, her job as a teacher, and her strong faith keep her grounded—until her diagnosis sends her spiraling into the scary world of what-ifs and unknown outcomes. Sherri faces the agonizing realization that family history may be about to repeat itself. With the clock ticking, she’s determined to use whatever time she has left to heal old wounds and restore relationships. Together, the sisters are forced to reexamine their priorities, address the still tender wounds of their childhood, and delve more deeply to discover what it means to live each day to its fullest.
MY THOUGHTS
This!!!
This is one of the best book I have read about endings and beginnings. Especially when we navigate them with them help of God.
I loved the story. The characters flew off the page. They became like kin to me. Their struggles tore at my heart and their success were mine too. Sherri was the heart of this book for me. How even in pain she was able to bring hearts back together and shine the love of Christ was mind-blowing. Her faith in God was just so beautiful to read. Her heart to forgive and move on was outstanding and inspiring. I was so glad and emotional to see how Daniel and Kristen’s marriage turned out. I was rooting for them even though at some point I was getting frustrated with them.
This book is a story of love, forgiveness, kindness, and family. I love how the author did not make it morbid but in simple but profound ways portrayed the love of God and the redemption that comes with it even in the most dire situations. There is always hope! The book echoed that.
I listened to the audio book, and the narrators did an amazing job. They made the book so enjoyable.
I received a copy of this book, and this is my honest opinion.
