~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Piper Redding is a loner, but lonely. Everyone she loves has abandoned her and opening her heart to others is just asking for more pain. She can’t help but blame herself for her brother’s tragic death six years ago, and in her guilt, she shuts herself off from the world. No one could love her—not even the God who promised to be there for her but wasn’t.

For paramedic Ezra Bryant, failure is not an option. He’s had enough of it, and only by God’s grace is he able to put it behind him. But when a traumatic event brings Piper’s greatest fear and Ezra’s failures to light, can they use that event to allow God to mend their broken pieces? Can love triumph over fear, and grace over guilt?

My Review

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

When I first saw that Sarah Grace had written a book I was all over wanting to read it. I’m like that with a lot of books honestly, but when I started to read this book I was instantly drawn in to it by Sarah Grace’s amazing writing. The further I got the more I fell in love with the story and it’s characters. I have only read a few books in my life that have impacted me the way this book has. 

This book touched my heart in so many ways. I literally was crying at the most random times, well not really it was just a unique place to cry after a series of events happened. I just feel like this book, especially the end plot twist, really spoke to me. Even though I am not going through the exact thing that Ezra and Piper were going through, I am still going through a time where what Piper came to realize is what I needed to read and realize too. 

I cannot put into words how beautiful this story was. My heart is bursting with all kinds of emotions and has been since the minute I opened the PDF copy of this book that I have. I related to Piper to an extent. I think that by seeing a little of myself in her, made me love this book even more. 

The relationship between Ezra and Piper was so pure and sweet. I loved Ezra, he was one of my favorite characters. Okay if I’m being honest they all were my favorite. I honestly cannot put into words what drew me to love Ezra’s character so much. Something about him just touched my heart and made me love him. 

So even though this book had lot’s of serious and sentimental parts that made me nearly cry and did make me cry, this book also contained humor that made me silently chuckle to myself. Tyler was just a fun going, loving character that I instantly related to. Sure, I’m not as goofy as him cough at time cough but his and my teasing matched up to perfection. Also can we just give some love to Mr. Bryant and Miss Cecile? They were amazing, Christ-like characters that brought my heart so much joy. 

The best way to close this review up is by saying this. You NEED to read this book. It comes out in 8 days. Get yourself a copy, you will not regret it. This book contains everything that an amazing book should. It contains good solid Christian themes, a pure and bittersweet romance, some thrill to get your heart pumping, and just an all around amazing story that will keep you reading until you have finished the very last page. So, go buy this book and enjoy reading the story of Ezra and Piper!

My favorite quote:

A gentle voice floated through his head as he
drifted off again. “I’ve prepared a beautiful place
for you. But it is not yet your time. You have done
well, My faithful servant, and I have much more for
you to do.”

“But Lord,” he protested, feeling his utter
unworthiness. “I can’t. I’ve failed You again and
again. You can’t possibly use me.”

“In your unworthiness is where you have
worth. My power works through you, My strength
is made perfect in your weakness. You have given
Me your heart and your best; that is all I ask.”
