Her Best Book Yet! — 3 years ago
No joke…Deborah Raney gets better with every single book she writes! This has to be her best book yet, and she’s written some pretty awesome books! Her trademark is evoking emotion through her characters, which in turn, sucks the reader into an unforgettable story. Another author who does this well is Karen Kingsbury, but I don’t think she’s got anything on Deborah Raney!
The action begins in the very first chapter, and that is my kind of book. Unfortunately, it starts with a huge tragedy that affects 5 families and the community around them. As the days go by, the questions start to pile up. “Who’s responsible?” “What started the fire?” Bryn thinks she knows how it started, but after awhile she convinces herself that she had nothing to do with it. It’s not long, though, before the doubt starts to creep in, and she wonders if she truly was responsible.
Garrett’s wife, Molly, was one of the firefighters who died in the fire, along with Bryn’s husband, Adam. Even though I never got to read about them while they were among the living, I thought Deborah did an awesome job of portraying them after their tragic deaths. She also did an incredible job writing the emotions of the surviving spouses, and the incredible grief that each one felt.
There is so much more about this story I could share, but if I did, I would honestly be spoiling it for you! If you love stories that pull on your heartstrings, make you shed a few tears (I certainly did), and ones that just stay with you for days and weeks, then you need to get your hands on every single Deb Raney book available! I assure you….you will not be sorry! :o)
