About the Book:
As Aribella answers her first call as an EMT in Baggersville, she’s ready for almost anything… almost. Despite her time as an Army Ranger and the training she’s received, nothing can prepare her for what she encounters.
The man lying unconscious in the dirt isn’t just another patient. It’s her husband, her childhood best friend, her once-in-a-lifetime love. After years apart and a long road back to each other, one fall from a horse threatens to erase everything they’ve rebuilt.
When Ashdyn wakes, he doesn’t remember his life before the accident, or his wife. To him, she’s a stranger with steady hands, an ethereal beauty, and eyes that stir something familiar deep inside.
With the help of the three Biddies and a group of friends, Aribella and Ashdyn strive to piece together the life they shared. Flashes of memory surface with moments that feel like déjà vu and spark hope that the love they had isn’t lost forever.
My Review:
Love has done it again, creating an engaging and touching love story. The deep love between Ashdyn and Aribella had been tested before when she joined the military and came back with scars. That did not shake the deep love Ashdyn had for her. Now their love is tested again when an accident leaves Ashdyn with amnesia.
I like that we readers get to learn some insights about memory loss. New to me was dysgraphia but I learned it meant having trouble putting thoughts down on paper, something Aribella experienced. Education tests requiring writing could be given orally to provide the student with a suitable way to show material learned.
Other interesting topics covered in this novel include the emotional intelligence of horses. I did not know about their sensitivity to the emotional state of humans. And the overarching topic running through the novel is trusting God's providence through disaster.
This is part of a long series by Love but can be read even if others have not been. Since Ashdyn has amnesia, there is a great deal of explaining previous events and the people involved. I recommend the novel, engaging and informative.
My rating: 4/5 stars.
