MY REVIEW:
Almost Forever is an all too realistic story that begins with a tragedy of nightmare proportions. A fire that destroys a homeless shelter is also responsible for the deaths of five firemen, including one female. One of those men was the husband of Bryn, a volunteer at the shelter who was on site at the time of the fire. In the aftermath of the catastrophe, Bryn and Garrett, who lost his wife in the fire, form a friendship that starts the healing process for each of them. When Bryn’s memories of that fateful night begin to return, she realizes that she could be responsible for the fire.
Almost Forever is a touching tale with characters that are so real they could be your friend or neighbor. The emotional ups and downs of the characters as well as their reactions to people and circumstances are true to life and believable. Truth, love, grace, and forgiveness are central themes of this excellent novel that will give the reader plenty to ponder. I look forward to the next book of the Hanover Falls series.
