This is a new to me author and I was rapt from the beginning. Right from the prologue and describing the plane boarding process, I could feel it as I too have done it so many times before.
As we follow the four crash survivors and their different approaches to their life, I was reminded of coworkers that too survived a crash where many perished. I am amazed at the strength some people possess. It was an emotional read for me as I read their struggles and how each one handled things differently. There were a few unexpected moments that kept me wanting more. What a unique story and I appreciated the author’s description of her inspiration in the acknowledgements.
About the book:
What an emotional and beautifully written wild ride. A story about survival, trauma, healing, forgiveness and love that you’ll find hard to forget.
The rules were exact. And absurd. Could they be changed?
Survivor #1: Paige Montgomery, a sweet, hopeful, small-town young woman just beginning to find her way in the world.
Survivor #2: Julie Geiger, a divorced flight attendant and a fierce fighter. Lately she is growing weary and needing to reinvent her mission—and herself.
Survivor #3: Marie Stanley, a homemaker, wife, and mother. She feels she’s been wronged and knows exactly who to blame.
Survivor #4: Terry Rhinegeist, a dad who decided it was better to walk away and forget about what happened.
Why do people’s lives cross in the most unpredictable ways? How do we reconcile our intermingled paths, especially when they are forged in blood? Will love and forgiveness find a way?
