- A young woman determined to honor her commitment
- An injured soldier convinced life is no longer worth living
- A retired doctor certain it’s too late to be forgiven
Jane Morrow has a dilemma. She’s engaged to Seth Ballantine, a member of the National Guard’s 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team, and he’s returned from Iraq severely wounded. Jane hasn’t seen him for nearly a year, and with trepidation, she heads to the VA hospital in Asheville, North Carolina, where he is being treated.
Seth isn’t happy to see her. He’d asked her not to come. He wants to end the relationship. But Jane loves him, and despite his injury, she’s determined to convince him that they can have a life together. Her faith has never been strong, yet she hopes God will answer her prayers and tell her what to do.
Beautifully written, Travelers Rest takes readers on a journey through pain and tragedy to a place of hope and redemption.
My Review:
published in 2012
Profound. The kind of book that makes you a better person for having lived within its pages for a few hours. This character-driven story unfolds with a rich blend of drama and poignancy, but there’s humour tucked in there as well.And life lessons well worth learning. Like the power to influence for good just by having the courage to try.
And, oh my, the characters! And the cunning way their disparate lives are woven together. A purely stunning, gorgeous book that has left me near speechless.
