About the book:
Where does a
relationship expert turn when his wife leaves him and he can’t explain why?
Josiah
Chamberlain’s life’s work revolves around repairing other people’s marriages.
When his own is threatened by his wife’s unexplained distance, and then
threatened further when she’s unexpectedly plunged into an unending fog, Josiah
finds that his expertise, quick wit, and clever quips mean nothing for his
relationship that is clearly broken.
Feeling betrayed,
confused, and ill-equipped for a crisis this crippling, he reexamines
everything he knows about the fragility of hope and the strength of his faith
and love. Love seems to have failed him. Will what’s left of his faith fail
him, too? Or will it be the one thing that holds him together and sears through
the impenetrable wall that separates them?
My review:
This is a
wonderful deeply emotional story!
I was captivated
by the plot of this novel. Josiah is written with an incredible depth. His
confusion, heartache, and feelings of betrayal were palpable.
I found I had to
read this book in short sessions to keep myself from falling into a deep funk.
At the same time I NEEDED to find out how the story ended. I wanted things to
work out for Josiah and his wife Karin. Not finishing the book was never an
option.
I loved seeing
the source of wise words and encouragement that came alongside Josiah. It is
always great when we are surprised by the people that step up to help us cope
in a crisis.
I look forward to
reading more books by this author. This one is getting a 5 star rating from me.
I am highly recommending it.
I read this story and it is one of my all time favorites! :-)
