As the gritty reality unfolds and his crime is revealed, John's past, present, and future clash and fall apart. Through it all, he discovers grace like a river, the waters of which become balm to his fractured mind, making him whole again.In the midst of their greatest tragedy, he and his wife discover a redemption story they never thought they needed. It all starts with a priceless trinket that brought death and a letter from a widow that brings John abundant life.Pre-publication book review-Reviewed by Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' FavoriteBetty Collier's novel, Dear John, is the second book in The Birthday Gift series that reveals the everlasting power of God's love and the message so aptly shared in scripture. The plot follows John's journey to discover himself and find his way through faith. It's a difficult journey, but one he must take. The plot is well developed, the descriptive narrative is aptly incorporated, and the dialogue is well constructed and believable. The story itself is a tapestry evolving from the heart of a seasoned storyteller. There is heartbreak, hope, and the promise of true forgiveness and love, all through the simple act of belief. The author is well versed in scripture and the choice of the main character's name wasn't without profound meaning and attachments. We all know the meaning of a 'Dear John' letter, one that will cast away the recipient, and those with faith are more than familiar with the quote from John, one of Jesus's disciples. This compelling story will lead readers closer to their own sense of faith and acceptance. A deeply sentimental, engaging, and powerful story.Beta Reader Joanna AlonzoAs far as the story goes, you are such a gifted storyteller! This was quite an unexpected read, and it is amazing to me how you managed to keep a thread of hope, grace, and faith amidst such tragedy and turmoil! I love your character development-most especially John and Elizabeth... I definitely "went through" this journey with them both.
