The Return by Nicholas Sparks

 The Return

Another homerun for Nicholas Sparks. This one wasn't sad as so many of his books are. Yet, this was an amazing story. I read it in a couple of days, just couldn't put it down. The story is about Trevor who moves back to his hometown after a career ending injury. He suffers from PTSD and is working thru those issues. Additionally, he now finds himself alone as his parents died when he was younger and his only living relative, his grandfather, just died. Trevor goes on a journey to figure out why his grandfather was so far from home when he died. It was just out of character for him to go so far away. In trying to figure out his grandfather's motives, Trevor also helps to solve Callie's health issues. This book is a love story but also a story of healing. Trevor is on a journey that will ultimately lead him to heal from his injuries. 

This is a true story of Kimberly Schlapman's family's adoption of a baby girl. Her daughter, Daisy really wanted a sister. Kimberly and her husband really wanted that also but were struggling with infertility issues. This is such an inspirational story of hope and the power of prayer. It is also a story illustrating God answers prayers but sometimes not exactly in the manner we first asked. Yet, His way is always best. The pictures in this book are beautiful. At the end she includes a personal note explaining the book and pictures of her family. I highly recommend this book. It is fantastic.
