By the time Thursday is over, Annie Lee is convinced God is telling her it’s her last day on earth.

Annie and her husband live in a small rural town in central Washington state—a place where almost nothing scary happens . . . until today. Hang on to her coattails as she navigates her tragic past, her frightening present, and her unknown future all in the space of twenty-four hours.

And ask yourself the same question posed to Annie: “What would I do today if I knew I’d die tomorrow?” Will your answer be the same one Annie discovers?

My Review

Gorman writes fiction that represents life realistically. This novel opens with family members arguing and contains lots of family drama and emotional turmoil. Those of us who grew up with an unsettled home life may have difficulty reading it. There are a number of potential trigger situations included in the novel too, such as the abduction of a child and a past rape.

There are many great lessons in this novel. For me, the best one was the transformation of Annie. I started out not liking her. I could not imagine having her for a friend, she was so agitated and demanding. But Gorman created Annie that way for a reason and I really like Annie's character transformation in the end.

This is an entertaining novel that deals with a short period of time in one woman's life. Annie deals with fears, present influence from past events, and even experiences spiritual warfare. Some say experience is the best teacher. It was certainly the way Annie learned to be the person God designed her to be.

My rating: 4/5 stars.

More from Deb

No Tomorrows-A Novel for Today came about because of a question I heard.

“What would you do today if you knew without a doubt you would die tomorrow?”

It’s an old question that’s been kicked around for decades, but when I seriously put my shoes into its footprints, I found I could not answer it with anything other than cliches. Those cliches, like “Eat chocolate all day”, or “Do that last thing on your bucket list” didn’t sit well with me. I wanted a real answer, one I could hang my hat on—as one character in the book says. I suspected that my readers want a real answer for themselves, too.

Annie Lee, a typical suburban mother of four, is confronted with that question, and spends a harrowing twenty-four hours navigating the answer for herself. In the uncertainty of our times, this question is particularly important for us to consider. Perhaps we’ll agree with Annie Lee’s answer.

Along with a book and a $50.00 Amazon card, the lucky winner will receive a custom-made No Tomorrows pen, created by my author friend, Steve Hooley, at https://SteveHooleyWriter.com, from Big Leaf Maple wood grown and harvested in the Pacific Northwest.
